The Saint of January 1 is Mary Most Holy Mother of God, which name day is celebrated and other saints who are celebrated on this date.
Mary Most Holy Mother of God
On this day we celebrate the great and consoling mystery of Mary's divine motherhood and the very high figure of the Madonna proclaimed by the Mother Church of God.
In fact, as the Second Vatican Council pointed out, the Virgin is inextricably linked with the work of salvation performed by her Son Jesus.
Mary daughter of Adam, saying yes to God, became the mother of Jesus, embracing the saving will of God with all her soul and without any stain of sin.
She totally consecrated herself to the Lord, her human and divine nature was affirmed for the first time in the Council of Ephesus in 431.
The solemnity of Mary Most Holy Mother of God is the first Marian feast of the year in the calendar of holidays recognized by the Catholic Church.
