Mother of God you are the holy mountain
from which the Rock was hewn, without human
hands. Generations of heaven and earth join to say
Blessed are you, ark of Mysteries
Blessed are you, altar of the First Fruit
Blessed are you, fertile valley.
Blessed are you, bright sunrise.
Blessed are you, joy of motherhood.
We petition you, O Christ, through the prayers of
Your holy Mother, renew the face of the earth
which You created out of love for us. Where
there is death and decay, restore life; where
there is famine and suffering, bring relief; where
the earth is parched and unyielding, provide rain.
Bless the fields with grain, the fruit trees with
blossoms and the bushes with new growth.
Restore the work of Your hands, so that earth and
all that is on it may worship You now and forever.
Beautiful icon, also known as Our Lady of the Maronites, depicts the Virgin Mother supporting on her lap, the Child of her womb, Jesus Christ (a favorite theme of St. Ephrem.) It was discovered at the Patriarchal Church of Elige, Lebanon and is dated around the 10th Century. This original image had been painted over several times, each time the image became more Latinized, and the features of the main figures became more European. After uncovering several diverse pictorial layers, this the original icon has been revealed. This painting reflects a development of the tradition initiated by the RABBULA manuscript of the 6th Century.
