- On the Feast of the Blessed Virgin:
-
- Revelations 12:1-6 [King James]
-
- And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun,
- and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
- And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be
- delivered.
-
- And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon,
- having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
-
- And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them
- to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be
- delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
-
- And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod
- of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.
-
- And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath place prepared of God,
- that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days.
