NATIVITY OF OUR LADY - September 8th SEPTEMBER - Month of Our Lady of Sorrows The feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated each year on the eighth of September. Usual- ly it is the custom of the church to celebrate the feast day of a saint on the date of their death as this is truly their "die natalis", the day remembered as their birth into everlasting happiness. Mary, however, entered this world sinless through the privilege of the Immaculate Conception and is the firstborn of the redeemed. Her nativity is a cause for great joy as it is considered the" dawn of our salvation" as Pope St. Paul VI wrote in the document, Marialis Cultus in 1972. There is no reference in the Sacred Scriptures to the birth of Mary. That which is known about Mary's nativity is found in the Apocrypha, principally the Protoevangelium of James which has been dated by historians prior to 200 AD. This book gives us a detailed "And She shall be called Mother, account of the birth of Mary which begins in the fifth for all shall be her children." chapter and even gives a detailed conversation between --cf. Psalm 87 Mary's mother, St. Anne and the midwife. The earliest document commemorating this feast comes MOST HOLY NAME OF MARY - September 12 from the sixth century. It is generally believed that this feast originated in Jerusalem since there is evidence, in "Mary means enlightener, because she the fifth century, of a church dedicated to St. Anne, lo- brought forth the Light of the world. cated north of the Temple in the neighborhood of the In the Syriac tongue, Mary signifies Pool of Bethesda.
