The tradition further relates that Maro had wanted to bring the Gifts of the Magi, along with many other objects, in person to St Pavlos's Monastery. However, after she had set off on the coast, and when she was about to ascend to the monastery, she heard a voice telling her not to go any further, for this was the realm of another Queen, the Virgin Mary; Maro stopped without a second thought. A chapel was later built on that location. This event is said to be the source of the rule that forbids women to enter Agio Oros.
