SEPTEMBER 8 - THE NATIVITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
“Magnify, 0 my soul, glorious nativity of the Mother of God” – (Matins).
The feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary belongs on the list of the Twelve Major Feasts of the Byzantine rite liturgical year. We usually do not celebrate the birthday of the Saints, but rather their “birthday to heaven,” that is, the anniversary of their death, considered as the beginning of their blessed life with God. Nevertheless, there are two exceptions, the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist, since we commemorate not only their birthday to heaven, but also their nativity, their coming to this earth. The nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was not accidental; it was well prepared by God from the very beginning of sacred history. Already in the Garden of Eden, God promised our first parents, Adam and Eve, to send them a Savior through the providential Woman, who’s “seed will crush the head (power) of the serpent” (Gen. 3:5). In other words, theSavior of the human race was to come as the “seed,” the offspring of the Woman.
