Nan Saint Efrayim lan moun lavil Aram yo Kantik sou krèch la, soti nan mitan yo-katriyèm syèk, lè l sèvi avèk simagri ki rapèl Revelasyon 12:4, Mari sanble predi veyikil la nan kò l 'nan syèl la, di, “Te Babe a ke mwen pote m 'te pote … . Li bese atè piyon li, li pran, li mete m 'ant zèl li ak te monte nan lè a” (17:1).
