Holy Mary, Worthy. The Virgin Mary "Axion Esti" located in the sanctuary of the Protatus of Karyes, on Mount Athos, is a miraculous icon, since in front of her Archangel Gabriel sang the angelic anthem for the first time. The image in the late 10th century was in a monk cell near Karyes. The Elder's vassal absent from the cell at a wake hosted in the cell an unknown passing monk. The unknown monk carved with his finger on a stone plate a "new" beginning in the famous hymn of St. Cosmas the Poet, which began "Acute istin as true..." and asked the submissive to sing the hymn in this way by all the Orthodox. The Athonite monks sent the plaque with the engraving to the Patriarch and carried the image to Protatos, at the seat of the Holy Epistasy of Mount Athos.
