There is a tradition, that Archangel Gabriel appeared in the form of a monk in Mt Athos and during a prayer to the Theotokos added these lines: "Axion esti trully to bless you the mother of God" ("Ἄξιόν ἐστι ὡς ἀληθῶς μακαρίζειν Σέ τὴν Θεοτόκον"). The icon that received this prayer for the first time, is the Axion Esti icon. ...
