{{Traducere EN}}
'''"Cuvine-se cu adevărat"''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: ''Άξιον εστίν'', [[Church Slavonic|Slavonic]]: Достóйно éсть, ''Dostóino yesť'') is a [[theotokion]] ([[sticheron]] composed in honor of the [[Theotokos]]), which is chanted in the [[Divine Services]] of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox]] and [[Eastern Catholic Churches|Greek-Catholic]] Churches.
One translation of the hymn goes as follows:
<blockquote>It is truly meet to bless thee, O Theotokos,<br>
ever blessed, and most pure, and the Mother of our God.<br>
More honorable than the [[cherubim]],<br>
and beyond compare more glorious than the [[seraphim]].<br>
Without corruption thou gavest birth to [[God the Word]].<br>
True Theotokos, we magnify thee.</blockquote>
The second half of the hymn, beginning with the words, "More honorable than the cherubim..." is the older part of the hymn, and is an [[Irmos]] attributed to [[Cosmas of Maiuma|St. Cosmas the Hymnographer]] († [[773]]). The introduction, "It is truly meet..." was, according to tradition, revealed by the [[Archangel]] [[Gabriel]] to a [[Monk#Eastern_Orthodox_monks|monk]] on [[Mount Athos]].
The hymn is chanted at [[Matins]], [[Compline#Compline_in_the_East|Compline]], and other services; but its most important occurrence is at the [[Divine Liturgy]], where it is chanted at the conclusion of the [[Anaphora]]. The second half of the hymn, "More honorable…" is frequently chanted before the [[dismissal]] which concludes services.
Often, the chanting of this hymn is followed by either a [[genuflection#Orthodox Christianity|metania]] or a [[prostration]].
==Icon and legend==
''Axion Estin'' is also the name given to the [[icon]] of the [[Theotokos]] ([[Mother of God]]) before which, according to tradition, the hymn was revealed. It stands in the high place of the [[altar]] (sanctuary) of the [[katholikon]] (main church) of [[Karyes]] on [[Mount Athos]].
According to tradition, an [[Starets|Elder]] and his [[disciple]] lived in in a [[cell]] on Mount Athos. One Saturday night the Elder left to attend the [[All-Night Vigil]] in Karyes. He told his disciple to chant the service alone. That evening an unknown monk who called himself Gabriel, came to the cell, and they began the Vigil together. During the Ninth [[Ode]] of the [[Canon (hymnography)|Canon]], when they began to sing the [[Magnificat]], the disciple sang the original hymn "More honorable than the Cherubim…" and afterwards the visiting monk chanted it again, but with "It is truly meet…" preceding the original [[Irmos]]. As he sang, the icon began to radiate with [[Tabor Light|Uncreated Light]]. When the disciple asked the visiting monk to write the words of the new hymn down, he took a roof tile and wrote on it with his finger, as though the tile were made of wax. The disciple knew then that this was no ordinary monk, but the [[Archangel Gabriel]]. At that moment the Archangel disappeared, but the icon of the Mother of God continued to radiate light for some time afterward.
The ''[[Eleousa]]'' ("merciful") Icon of the Mother of God, before which the hymn "It Is Truly Meet" was first chanted, was transferred to the ''[[katholikon]]'' (main church) at Karyes, known as the ''Protaton''. The tile, with the hymn written on it, was taken to [[Constantinople]] when St. [[Nicholas II Chrysoberges]] was [[Patriarch]] ([[984]]-[[996]]). The hymn became integrated in the Eastern Orthodox worship books and since then it plays an important role in everyday worship, being chanted in the [[Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom]] and recited at the [[Compline]].
Since that time the icon has been considered the [[patron saint|protector]] of the [[Mount Athos|Holy Mountain]] and its holiest object.
==Feast Day==
The [[feast day]] celebrating the revelation of the hymn by the Archangel Gabriel, and the [[Icon]] of the [[Theotokos]] of the same name, is celebrated on [[June 11]].
==Hymns in place of ''Axion Estin''==<!-- [[All of Creation]] redirects here -->
During the Divine Liturgy, ''Axion Estin'' is sometimes replaced by another hymn to the Theotokos. These hymns are referred to in the [[Canonical_Hours#Liturgical_Books|service books]] as "in place of ''Axion Estin''" (Slavonic: Задостойнникъ, ''Zadostoinnik'').
At the [[Liturgy of St. Basil]], it is replaced by the hymn:
<blockquote>All of Creation rejoices in thee, O full of grace:<br>
the angels in heaven and the race of men,<br>
O sanctified temple and noetic paradise,<br>
the glory of virgins, of whom God was incarnate<br>
and became a child, our God before the ages.<br>
He made thy body into a throne,<br>
and thy womb more spacious than the heavens.<br>
All of creation rejoices in thee, O full of grace:<br>
Glory be to thee.</blockquote>
On the [[Great Feasts]], it is replaced by the [[Irmos]] of the ninth [[Canticle|Ode]] of the [[Canon (hymnography)|Canon]] of the Feast.
