To Aerius the Sophist,

She who bore you and raised you invites you to the long-awaited feast. The holy shrine is crowned with a roof. It is fittingly adorned. It is eager for the inhabitants for whom it was built -- apostles and prophets, the bold-voiced heralds of the old and new covenants.

So grace the feast with your presence. Receive the blessing that flows from it, and make the celebration more joyful for all of us.
