:true Theotokos, we magnify thee.
In Slavonic, the The hymns that replace "It is truly meet..." in the Divine Liturgy are called in Slavonic the "''Zadostoinik''," or in Greek the "anti tou Axion Estin", both which means mean "Instead of 'It is truly meet.'" These hymns come from the refrain and [[irmos]] of the ninth ode of the Canon of the Feast, which is sung at [[Orthros]]. Some English-speaking Orthodox prefer to use this the Slavonic term to distinguish it from the other types of hymns that are also referred to as a ''megalynarion''.
