To Maranas,

It was really your task, my good sir, to summon the rest to the feast of the dedication as well. Through your zeal and energy the holy temple was built, and the bold-voiced heralds of truth have come to dwell in it, guarding all who approach in faith.

Still, I write to announce the season of the feast.
