This initial begins the first response for the first nocturn of Matins of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, 'Hodie nata est beata Virgo Maria...' (Today is born the blessed Virgin Mary). It presents a domestic rendering of the Virgin's birth in which St. Anne, the mother of the Virgin, is assisted by a midwife.
