Feast of the Nativity of the Theotokos
September 8

The Nativity of Our Most Holy Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary is the first of the Great Feasts celebrated in the year of the Church.

It commemorates the birth of the Virgin Mary and is celebrated on the 8th of September.

According to Church tradition the Virgin Mary's parents were Joachim and Anna who were childless, a source of great grief to them but they retained their faith in God despite their prayers to God remaining unanswered.

This is the day of the Lord; wherefore, rejoice ye nations; for behold the chamber of Light, the scroll of the Word of life hath come forth from the womb; the gate facing the east hath been born. Wherefore, she awaiteth the entrance of the High Priest. And she alone admitted Christ into the universe for salvation of our souls.
