Filled with this joy, he went to Jerusalem, and there together with Anna glorified God, saying the Promised One:

Thy righteous parents, O Most Pure One, were overcome by a storm of sorrows and many sorrows, as if they were barren in their old age, as if they were unworthy to have an inheritance in the Kingdom of God. All creation has suffered with them from time immemorial about the barrenness of our nature, having submitted to vanity: for Adam groans, as if the earth were cursed for his sake; Eve also weeps, as if her sorrow and illness have increased; and the whole human race groans with them, having shared in corruption. When, O Mother of God, by Your birth the ancient barrenness and corruption were resolved, all creation cried out to God in gratitude for You: Alleluia.
