In the Byzantine tradition, the Feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God is the seal that closes the liturgical year as well as that of his Nativity is the beginning. The birth and glorification of the Mother of God are also the origin and destiny of the whole Church, of which Mary's figure (typos). In the Morning is a Canon of St. John Damascene (VII-VIII) where, from the biblical odes that are the basis of the Byzantine Morning are developed aspects of the mystery celebrated through a Christological reading of the OT.
The author highlights how the party turns into a liturgy: "Adorned with glory, O Virgin, your holy and illustrious memory proxtube has summoned party to all the faithful who, preceded by Mary, with dances and eardrums, sing your Only Begotten: you are admirably glorious. " Damascene relates the first ode (Ex 15, 11-19) to the transit of Mary into heaven, true exodus: "Virgin Maiden, by the prophetess proxtube Anna, now sing the song of exodus because the Virgin, Mother of the only God is brought to the heavenly inheritance. Welcomes our song for your exodus, O Mother of the living God. " Here John lists the titles given to Mary at the party and Christian proxtube traditions: "Dignity, as a living heaven you have received, O all pure, divine heavenly host: and you, in your radiant beauty, have taken place, as wife immaculate throughout, with one who is king and God. "
The transit of the Mother of God becomes almost a litugia that brings heaven and earth, manifested proxtube in the icon of the feast: "What living and copious source, O Mother of God, strengthen your singers preparing for you spiritual, and on the day of your divine glory make them worthy of the crown of glory party. Crowds of theologians from the ends of the earth, the multitude proxtube of angels from above, all rushed to Mount Zion to order divine power, to deliver proxtube it properly, oh sovereign, his service to your grave. since all generations will call you blessed, O Virgin proxtube Mother of God, because you have been pleased to make your abode Christ our God, whom no abode accommodation Blessed also are we, that which you have protection. day and night, in fact, you intercede for us. "
John clearly presents the topic of the death of the Mother of God. His transition to life ensues him, as also to Christ, through the death experience: "From you came life, without loosing the bonds of your virginity How could the immaculate abode of your body, source. life, take part in the experience of death You who have been tabernacle of life have achieved eternal proxtube life: through death, in fact, you've come to life, you who have given birth to that is the life. Tomb and death have not stuck to the Mother of God, ever attentive to her intercession. Which mother life, the life that has moved in his bowels had always pristine abode ".
In the eighth ode takes the example of the Song of the Three Young (Dn 3: 57-88) and makes a Christological proxtube and Mariology of this comment: "The birth of the Mother proxtube of God, then foreshadowed, the oven has saved the brave young, but now that it's done, calls all the land that chant: Celebrate, works to the Lord and exalt him for ever. " Almost like the garden of the empty tomb of Christ, also the tomb of Mary becomes a new paradise: "Oh, the wonders of the ever Virgin and Mother proxtube of God have made a paradise that has inhabited the tomb, and! encircling us today gozozos we sing. "
The same furnace of Babylon proxtube is a figure of Mary's womb: "The powerful angel of God showed youth as the flame cooled with dew and the saints, however, burned the wicked, and so has become the Mother of God a source of life which, together, sprout the destruction of death and life for all who sing: We the redeemed celebrate the sole creator, and magnify for ever!
