In 980, Patr. Nicholas received a slate bearing a verse of the [[matins]] [[hymn]] that had been recorded by a [[monk]] who reported it had been sung by an [[angel]]. The angel was believed to have been the [[Archangel Gabriel]] who appeared in the guise of a monk to the [[disciple]] of a monk at the [[Pantokrator Monastery (Athos)|Monastery of the Pantocrator]] at [[Mount Athos]]. The hymn ''Axion Estin'', [[Panagia Axion Estin|'''It is Truly Meet''']], is still sung in Orthodox services.[[http://www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2009/06/miracles-of-icon-of-axion-estin.html]]
