Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

With the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is celebrated on September 8 by the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church, we remember the birth of Mary Mother of Jesus, daughter of Joachim and Anna.

Before the birth of Mary the earth had found itself in the dark, enveloped as it was by the darkness of sin.

With her nativity of Mary, the dawn of salvation arose in the world, as a harbinger of the approach of the day.

This fact is recognized by the Church with the institution of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In fact, in the office of praise it is stated: "With your birth, Virgin Mother of God, you announced joy to everyone: from you the Sun of justice was born, Christ our God".
