And when Herod knew that he had been mocked by the Magi, in a rage he sent murderers, saying to them: Slay the children from two years old and under.
2And Mary, having heard that the children were being killed, was afraid, and took the infant and swaddled Him, and put Him into an ox-stall.
3And Elizabeth, having heard that they were searching for John, took him and went up into the hill-country, and kept looking where to conceal him.
4And there was no place of concealment.
5And Elizabeth, groaning with a loud voice, says: O mountain of God, receive mother and child.
6And immediately the mountain was cleft, and received her.
7And a light shone about them, for an angel of the Lord was with them, watching over them.
