Wed Sept 8 THE NATIVITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY This 5th c. feast marks the anniversary of the dedication of a basilica in Jerusalem built, according to tradition, on the location of the home of St. Anne, the mother of Mary; patroness of Cuba. This very ancient feast was already solemnized in the seventh century, and Pope Innocent IV, to fulfil the vow made by the Cardinals before the election of his predecessor, gave it an Octave at the first Council of Lyons in 1245. This date (September 8) served to fix that of the feast of the Im- maculate Conception on December 8.

While an officer of the household of Diocletian, he converted to the faith of Christ, with the help of his colleague Dorothy, all the servants of the imperial palace. They were put to death at Nicomedia in A.D. 303. Later, the body of St. Gorgonius was buried at Rome on the Latin Way, whence it was eventually translated to the basilica of St. Peter. Fri Sept 10 (old calendar) St. Nicholas of Tolentino, Confessor Nicholas, called of Tolentino, on account of his long sojourn at this place, received the baptismal name of the holy of Myra, because he was born after a pil- grimage made by his parents to the tomb of the great miracle-worker at Bari. Following the example of his holy patron, although only seven years old, he fasted several times a week. Listening one day to a sermon by a preacher of the Order of of St. Augustine, on contempt of the world, he determined to give up all he possessed (Gospel) and to enter that Order. He is repre- sented holding a lily, because he was always a model of innocence and purity. He died in 1308. Sat Sept 11 (old calendar) SS.
