The Theotokos and John the Baptist, who were the first witnesses of the manifestation of the divine essence of Christ, act as intermediaries between men and the Heavenly Judge and pray for the salvation of sinful souls and the mercy of God.

The Mary and John the Baptist symbolize the spiritual purity of mankind and the hope for the exaltation of good over evil in the soul of every believer.
