Every year on September 21, the Orthodox Church celebrates a great holiday - the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was established in honor of the miraculous birth of the Virgin Mary from elderly parents - the pious Anna and Joachim. The holiday was first mentioned in the 5th century.
There is little information about the Mother of God in the New Testament. The story of her life has been brought to us by a legend according to which the parents of the Virgin Mary came from the family of David. The Church calls them the holy Fathers of God, because according to the flesh they are the ancestors of Jesus.
Miraculously, the Divine Providence for the salvation of mankind manifested itself on Anna and Joachim: after 50 years of married life, the childless Anna conceived and gave birth to the Mother of God. Even before the birth of the girl, the Angel gave her the name Mary. She became the only and most holy Virgin Who was foretold to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah: “Behold, a Virgin in the womb will bear and bear a Son, and they will call His name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14).
History of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
According to legend, the place where the Mother of God was born is in Jerusalem. However, in the Russian Orthodox Church, the version put forward by St. Dmitry of Rostov became widespread: that the Virgin Mary was born in Nazareth, where her parents lived.
Nazareth was a small town, unremarkable. The Jews even spoke of him somewhat contemptuously: "Can something good come from Nazareth?" The pious couple of Anna and Joachim lived in this city, who were chosen by the Lord to become the forefathers of the Savior of people. Anna came from a priestly family, and Joachim from the family of King David. Anna's niece, the righteous Elizabeth, became the cousin of the Virgin Mary and the mother of John the Baptist.
Joachim was a wealthy man, kept a large number of cattle. Despite their wealth, throughout their lives the righteous couple believed in God and were merciful to people. For this, they were loved and respected by their neighbors. The existence of spouses was overshadowed only by childlessness, which among the Jews was considered God's punishment. They constantly asked the Lord to give them a baby. But the older they got, the weaker was the hope.
Once Joachim, bringing a gift to God, heard a cruel reproach addressed to him from another Jew: “Why do you want to bring your gifts to the Lord before others? After all, you, being barren, are not worthy of this? Hearing this, Joachim was very upset. Out of great grief, he went into the wilderness for prayer and fasting.
Upon learning of this, Anna felt herself the culprit of their childlessness, and began to pray even more fervently that the Lord would hear her and send them a child. During one of her prayers, the Archangel Gabriel appeared to her and said: “Your request has been heard by God. Soon you will conceive and give birth to a blessed Daughter who will be higher than all earthly daughters. Call her Mary." Upon hearing the joyful news, Anna promised to give the child to the service of the Lord.
Archangel Gabriel also appeared to Joachim. He also told the saint great news and ordered him to go to Jerusalem, where he would meet his wife at the Golden Gate. Joachim hastened to Jerusalem, taking with him gifts for God and the priests.
At the Golden Gate, Joachim met with Anna. They told each other about the miraculous appearance of the Angel of the Lord. They spent some more time in Jerusalem, and then returned home to Nazareth. Nine months later, Anna gave birth to a daughter, who was named Mary.
When the girl was one year old, her father arranged a feast, to which he called the elders, priests and all his acquaintances. During the celebration, he showed his Daughter to all those present and asked the clergy to bless her.
According to church traditions, the Virgin Mary was born at a time when religion was in decline and various prejudices gained great popularity. Every year the moral strength of the people was depleted. Believers understood that only some extraordinary event, God's intervention in earthly affairs, could save spirituality. The Son of God decided to take on the human image in order to come to earth and save mankind from sins. Mary was chosen to be the mother of Jesus because she led a very pious life. She devoted herself entirely to the service of the Lord. From childhood, the Virgin Mary diligently studied, studying the Holy Scriptures, therefore she was ideally suited to fulfill this important mission.
The Nativity of the Mother of God is celebrated as the day on which God's providence began to be carried out regarding the salvation of the human race from devilish inventions. The holiday is also associated with the day of childbirth. Women who dreamed of knowing the joy of motherhood invited guests to dinner and ordered a service in the church.
Icon "Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary"
The icon "Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos" helps everyone who turns to her with their requests. It protects from all evil, averts misfortune, helps to heal the human soul and guides on the true path. Also, childless people pray at the holy image, dreaming that the Lord would give them a child.
The Virgin Mary was born at a time when people reached such a limit of moral decline, in which their rebellion already seemed impossible. The greatest minds of that era often spoke openly about the fact that the Lord must descend into the world in order to prevent the destruction of mankind. The Son of God for the salvation of people wanted to take on human nature. He chose the Most Pure Virgin Mary as His Mother.
The Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos is celebrated by the Church as a day of universal joy. On this bright day, at the turn of the Old and New Testaments, the Virgin Mary was born, who became the Mother of the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ. All over the earth, believing people worthily honor with praises and songs the One who dispelled the darkness of gracelessness in the world and delivered mankind from eternal death.
The Virgin Mary was born in the Galilean city of Nazareth. Her parents were the righteous Joachim and Anna, who kept all the commandments of the Lord and were known to those around them for their mercy and humility. They lived comfortably, in the possession of Joachim there were numerous flocks. The spouses spent one third of their income on themselves, the second was distributed to the poor, and the third was donated to the temple.
The couple was childless. In the Jewish people, childlessness was considered God's punishment for sins, so the holy and righteous Joachim and Anna had to endure unjust reproach from their compatriots. Having lived to old age, Joachim and Anna made a vow to the Lord that the child that He would send them would be dedicated to serving God in the temple.
On one of the holidays, Joachim offered his sacrifice to the Lord in the Jerusalem temple, but the high priest did not accept it, calling the elder unworthy, because of his childlessness. In deep grief, Saint Joachim went into the wilderness, where he remained in prayer and fasting for 40 days. Saint Anna, having learned about what happened in the Jerusalem temple, wept bitterly, but did not grumble at the Lord, but on the contrary began to pray even more fervently, invoking the mercy of God. The Lord fulfilled the request of the righteous spouses, and soon the Archangel Gabriel brought them the joyful news that they would have a Daughter, through whom salvation would be given to the whole world.
With her purity and virtue, the Blessed Virgin Mary surpassed all people and appeared as God's temple and "the Heavenly Door, introducing Christ into the Universe for the salvation of human souls."
At the age of three, the Blessed Virgin was brought into the temple. Many relatives and friends of Anna and Joachim gathered in Nazareth for the celebration of the dedication. After entering the city and seven days of purification by prayer and fasting, the righteous parents with the people accompanying them approached the temple, leading their daughter. High Priest Zechariah and other priests came out of the temple to meet them.
The porch leading to the temple consisted of 15 high steps. Parents put Maria on the first step and, to the great surprise of those around her, the girl climbed to the very top without outside help, where she was received by the high priest Zacharias. According to legend, he led her into the Holy of Holies, where, during her stay in the temple, Mary was allowed to freely enter for prayer.
After the introduction, the parents made a thanksgiving sacrifice and returned home, and Mary was left at the temple to be brought up with other virgins. Her life at the temple was distinguished by special holiness and purity. She got up at dawn and prayed three times a day, and the rest of the time she read the books of the Holy Scriptures and did needlework.
When Mary was about 9 years old, her righteous parents died: first her father, and then her mother.
Virginal purity, respected in Christianity, was not considered a virtue by the Jews. All the virgins brought up in the temple, upon reaching the age, had to enter into marriage. At the age of fourteen, the high priest announced to Mary that soon she would have to leave the temple and get married, to which the Blessed Virgin replied that she was dedicated to God and wanted to keep her virginity all her life. She made a vow of eternal virginity.
When Mary reached the age of majority, an elderly husband, Joseph the Betrothed, was found for her, who treated her vow with respect and understanding. In his house, Mary worked on making purple yarn for the temple curtain. During spinning, the Annunciation took place.
After the birth of Jesus, Mary and Joseph fled from King Herod to Egypt, and after his death returned to Nazareth. The Mother of God was present at Golgotha during the crucifixion of Christ, and, according to Christian tradition, Christ after His resurrection appeared first of all to Her. After the Ascension of the Lord, Mary lived in the house of John the Theologian, and three days before her Assumption, an angel appeared to Her and announced that Her soul would be separated from the body, and then there would be a miraculous reunion and bodily ascension to heaven.
Nativity of the Blessed Virgin: traditions, customs and signs
The birth of the Mother of God is associated with the time when the great and comforting promises of God about the salvation of the human race from the slavery of the devil began to be fulfilled. The birth of the Blessed Mary was the threshold of the appearance on earth of the Son of God, God in the flesh. All her life, and even after her Dormition, the Most Pure Mother of God intercedes before the Lord for the gift of eternal bliss to people.
In the people this holiday has received the following names:
- Mistresses;
- Small Most Pure;
- Aspozhki;
- Relax the day;
- Second Osenins;
- Second meeting of autumn;
- Spasov (Aspasov) day;
- apiary day;
- Bow day;
- Onion Tear Day.
In Rus', on this day, they celebrated the harvest festival, which was also called osporinki or autumn. They celebrated it for several days, or even a whole week, it all depended on how rich the harvest turned out to be. This holiday was considered the end of summer. It was customary to greet mother autumn with oatmeal bread: the oldest woman held the bread, and the rest sang songs and asked the Mother of God "to save the soul from maeta and overgrowth, and sanctify their life." Then the bread was broken into pieces and distributed piece by piece to those present. Each woman took her piece to the barn and fed the cattle bit by bit.
Even on this day, they went to the springs and prayed to the Blessed Virgin, because in the popular imagination Her birth was associated with crystal clear water. The water in the springs was first consecrated, and then collected and carried home to drink in a sip in the morning.
According to tradition, relatives came to visit the newlyweds on this day. The young family was supposed to show order in the yard and in the house, brag about the goods acquired from the day of marriage, as well as household utensils and new clothes. The main things on the table were beer and a ruddy loaf, symbolizing the sun and the forces of nature. The guests praised the young spouses and gave them instructions.
Notes of the day:
- What a day, such an autumn will be.
- If a cobweb lies on the plants, then in the coming days the weather will be warm.
- The red sky promises wind and rain.
- Frosty frost on the grass - to rain.
- Aspen leaves fall face down to the ground - by a cold winter.

In the small town of Nazareth, there lived a family that could not have children. They spent their free time in prayer. They asked the Lord to give them the opportunity to experience the joy of fatherhood and motherhood. One day, Joachim, as always, brought the gifts of offering to the church, but they refused him and did not take anything, explaining that he was childless. Infertility in Israel was considered the greatest misfortune. From grief, incurable mental pain, he went to the desert. Meanwhile, Anna found out about what had happened, went into her garden, sat down under a laurel tree and wept. On a tree, she saw a nest in which there were chicks. “Even birds have children, and we don’t have such consolation in old age,” thought Anna. Suddenly, an angel appeared to her, who said that she would have a daughter. Her name will be Mary, and it is she who will bring salvation to people.
At the same time, an angel appeared to Joachim and told the same thing. Joyful Joachim went to the Golden Gate, where he met the praying Anna. Nine months later (September 21, according to the new style), they had a daughter, whom they named Mary.
