On Friday of the New (Renewal) Week we celebrate the consecration of the temple of our Most Holy Lady, the Mother of God of the Life-giving Spring.

Ye that seek health, hasten unto the Spring, for the grace of the Virgin Maiden doth dwell therein. Leap for joy and be glad, O ye multitudes of the faithful, for in her temple, according to your need, ye shall have the recompense of your requests. Matins Canon, Ode Nine
