The Kontakion for the Nativity of the Theotokos (September 8):

Both Joachim and Anna from their sterility's stigma,
and Adam and Eve from their mortality's ruin have been set free,
O immaculate Maid,
by your holy nativity.
For this do your people hold celebration,
redeemed from the guilt of transgression as they cry to you,
"The barren one bears the Theotokos,
the nourisher of our Life."
