Theotokos, through Thee was

revealed to us on earth, the Mystery,
which was hidden from Eternity, and
which the Angels themselves knew
not: that God, uniting Natures
without confusion, became Man and
accepted crucifixion voluntarily for
our Salvation; by virtue of which
Resurrecting mankind whom He had
first created, He Saved our souls
from Death.
