Stavrophila finally reches the end of her life. the Angel shows her the Heavenly Jerusalem. Then tells her that the key to the gate is the cross.

And so after all the trouble and sorrow, the God-chosen one peacefully reposed in the Lord and her soul jubilantly entered into the Lord's courtyard of joy. into that unending blessedness which is the only true and unchangeable blessedness, which is not obtained by one's own making but recieved from the Creator.
