The Mother of our God survived the death of her Son. She saw her child being killed and suffered great grief. In her grief, she sought peace and tranquility and was lulled into a dream on the black earth. When the Mother of God fell asleep, the angels of the sky began to cry in heaven, and their tears floated to the ground, turning into snow.
That snow became a soft featherbed, a comfortable linen, a warm blanket for the Mother of God. The Mother of God was sleeping, and the snow kept falling at night. In her sleep, the Mother of God tried to remember her last conversation with her Son. What did they talk about? Did she have time to hug him goodbye? What were her last words? Because their next meeting would be in heaven, and no one knows when it will happen.
And the Mother of God had a dream that she woke up at dawn and went out into the garden. And she began to set up breakfast on a wooden table and cut bread. And her Son came and asked her: "My mother, did you sleep well? What did you see in your dream?" And his mother answered him: "In my dream I meet people who speak to me."
