(a) On the third day, when she had finished praying, she took off her suppliant's mourning attire and dressed herself in her full splendour. Radiant as she then appeared, she invoked God who watches over all people and saves them. With her, she took two ladies-in-waiting.

Take heart, you are not going to die; our order applies only to ordinary people. Come to me.' (Esther 5, 1)
