Merry Christmas of the Blessed Virgin Mary 21. Congratulations on the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

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 Maria.

September 21 Orthodox Christians remember Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This event - the birth of the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ from the righteous parents of Joachim and - is described in Church Tradition. We will talk about the history, meaning and folk traditions associated with the holiday.

What is the Nativity of the Virgin

The Nativity of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary is the full name of the holiday that the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates on September 21 according to the new style (September 8 according to the old style). This is one of . The Twelfth Feasts are dogmatically closely connected with the events of the earthly life of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Theotokos and are divided into the Lord's (dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ) and the Theotokos (dedicated to the Mother of God). Nativity of the Virgin - Mother of God holiday.

The event we celebrate on this day is not described in the New Testament. Knowledge about it came to us from Church Tradition, one of the sources of our dogma, along with the Holy Scriptures.

The legend that tells about the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, namely the Protoevangelium of James, was written in the 2nd century. And they began to celebrate the holiday as a separate significant day by the second half of the 5th century. For example, we read about this in the Patriarch of Constantinople Proclus (439-446) and in the breviary (liturgical book) of Pope Gelasius (492-426).

When is the Nativity of the Virgin

Orthodox Christians celebrate the Nativity of the Virgin Mary on September 21 according to the new style (September 8 according to the old style). it permanent holiday, that is, its date remains the same every year.

The holiday according to the Orthodox tradition lasts 6 days, from September 20 to 25. This period includes prefeast and afterfeast. Prefeast - one or several days before a big holiday, the divine services of which already include prayers dedicated to the upcoming celebrated event. Accordingly, the afterfeast is the same days after the holiday.

What can you eat on the Nativity of the Virgin

In 2018, the holiday falls on Friday, a fast day, in honor of the holiday, believers are allowed to eat fish.

Events of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

In the New Testament we will not find practically anything about the earthly life of the Mother of God. The Gospels do not provide information about who the parents of the Virgin Mary were and under what circumstances she was born.

The Feast of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos is based on Church Tradition. There is the so-called Protoevangelium of James, written in the 2nd century. In it we read that Mary was born of pious parents, Joachim and Anna. Joachim was a descendant of the royal family, and Anna was the daughter of the high priest. They lived to a ripe old age and were childless. This was a source of grief for the couple and caused public censure.

Once, when Joachim came to the Temple, the high priest did not allow him to offer a sacrifice to God, saying: "You did not create offspring for Israel." After that, the inconsolable Joachim retired to the desert to pray, while Anna remained at home and also prayed. At this time, an angel appeared to both of them and announced to each: “The Lord has heeded your prayer, you will conceive and give birth, and your offspring will be talked about all over the world.”

Upon learning the good news, the couple met at the Golden Gate of Jerusalem.

After that, Anna conceived. As the Protoevangelium of James writes, “the months allotted to her passed, and Anna gave birth in the ninth month.” The righteous made a vow to dedicate their child to God and gave their daughter Mary to the Temple in Jerusalem, where she served until she came of age.

The history of the celebration of the Nativity of the Virgin

Christians began to celebrate the feast of the Nativity of the Virgin only by the 5th century. We read the first mention of him in the Patriarch of Constantinople Proclus (439-446) and in the breviary (liturgical book) of Pope Gelasius (492-426). Saints John Chrysostom, Epiphanes and Augustine also write about the holiday. And in Palestine, there is a legend that the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Empress Helena built a temple in Jerusalem in honor of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos.

Icon of the Nativity of the Virgin

We meet the most ancient images of the events of the Nativity of the Mother of God by the X-XI centuries. These are icons and frescoes. For example, the painting of the Georgian temple of the 7th century in Ateni. This entire temple is dedicated to the Mother of God (the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin).

There are other ancient images of the holiday: frescoes in the Kiev St. Sophia Cathedral (first half of the 11th century) and in the Transfiguration Cathedral of the Mirozh Monastery (XII century), a composition in the Church of Joachim and Anna of the Serbian Studenica Monastery (1304).

Traditionally, on early icons and frescoes, icon painters depicted the righteous Anna, the mother of the Virgin Mary, in the center of the composition. The woman in labor is reclining on a high couch, in front of her are women with gifts, a midwife and maids who wash the Virgin in a font.

With each century, this icon-painting plot was enriched with more and more new details. For example, they began to depict a table with brought gifts and treats, a pond, birds. Now the icon of the Nativity of the Virgin is often made hagiographic, that is, they supplement the main plot with separate compositions (stigmas) - plots from the history of the event. Lamentation of Joachim in the wilderness, the gospel to Joachim and the gospel to Anna, the meeting of the spouses at the Golden Gate of the Jerusalem Temple, and so on.

The painting of the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Mother of God of the Ferapontov Monastery, which in 1502 was made by the great icon painter Dionysius, has survived to this day. This is a fresco above the main entrance, which depicts St. Anne on a couch; font; those who come to bow to the Born of wives and virgins with vessels in their hands; Joachim and Anna with the Virgin Mary in their arms.

Divine Liturgy of the Nativity of the Virgin

In the 6th century, the Monk Roman the Melodist wrote a kontakion to the Nativity of the Virgin, but his text has not survived to this day. The most ancient hymn of the holiday is the troparion "Your Nativity, Virgin Mother of God." Most likely, it was compiled in the 5th-7th centuries. In addition, the modern holiday service includes, for example, hymns of St. Andrew of Crete (VII century), St. John of Damascus VIII century), Patriarch Herman of Constantinople (VIII century).

Troparion of the Nativity of the Virgin

Tone 4:

Thy Nativity Virgin Mary, joy to proclaim to the whole universe: from Thee, the Sun of Truth, Christ our God, has risen, and breaking the oath, giving a blessing, and abolishing death, giving us eternal life.

Kontakion of the Nativity of the Virgin

Joachim and Anna reproaches of childlessness, and Adam and Eve are free from mortal aphids, Most Pure, in Thy holy birth. That is what Your people celebrate, having got rid of the guilt of sins, sometimes call Thee: the Mother of God and the nurturer of our life give birth to barren fruits.

Translation:

Joachim and Anna were freed from reproach for childlessness, and Adam and Eve were freed from mortal death by Your holy Birth, Most Pure One. It is also celebrated by Your people, who have got rid of the burden of sin, exclaiming loudly to You: the barren woman gives birth to the Mother of God and the nourisher of our Life.

The first prayer for the Nativity of the Virgin

Oh, Blessed Lady, Christ our Savior, God-chosen Mother, asked of God by holy prayers, dedicated to God and beloved by God! Who will not please you or who will not sing, Your glorious Christmas. For Thy Nativity was the beginning of the salvation of men, and we, sitting in the darkness of sins, see Thee, dwelling place of the Unapproachable Light. For this sake, the ornate tongue cannot hymn thee according to the property. More than the seraphim, thou art exalted, Most Pure. Both accept the present praise from the unworthy Thy servants and do not reject our prayers. We confess your greatness, we bow down to you in tenderness and boldly ask the child-loving and merciful Mother in intercession: implore your Son and our God to grant us, who sin a lot, sincere repentance and a pious life, so that we can do everything pleasing to God and useful to our souls. Let us hate all evil, strengthen by Divine grace in our good will. You are our shameless hope at the hour of death, grant us a Christian death, a comfortable march on the terrible ordeals of the air and a legacy of the eternal and ineffable blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven, and with all the saints we silently confess Your intercession for us and may we glorify the one True God, worshiped in the Holy Trinity, Father and Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Second Prayer for the Nativity of the Virgin

Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of heaven and earth, falling down to Your miraculous image, tenderly saying: look graciously on Your servants and by Your omnipotent intercession, send down to anyone who needs it. Save all the faithful children of the Holy Church, turn the unfaithful, guide those who have gone astray on the right path, support old age and weakness of strength, grow young in the faith of the saint, increase courage for good, lead sinners to repentance and hear all Christian prayers, heal the sick, quench the sorrows of travelers travel. You weigh, All-Merciful, as if weak, as if sinners, as if embittered and unworthy of God's forgiveness, both be of help to us, but we will anger God with no sin of self-love, temptation and devilish seduction: You are the Imams of the Intercessor, Even the Lord will not reject. If you rejoice, you can bestow everything on us like a gracious source, who faithfully sing to You and exalt Your glorious Christmas. Deliver, Mistress, the falls and troubles of all who piously call on Your holy name and bow down to Your honest image. You cleanse our tuna with the prayers of iniquity, the same we fall down and cry out to you again: cast away from us every enemy and adversary, every misfortune and destructive unbelief; by your prayers, giving rains in time and abundant fruitfulness to the earth, put in our hearts the fear of God for the fulfillment of the commandments of the Lord, so that we all live quietly and peacefully for the salvation of our souls, for the good of our neighbors and for the glory of the Lord, for Him, as the Creator, Provider and Savior glory, honor and worship befits ours, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Amen.

Sermon by Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh on the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Every feast of the Mother of God is pure joy. This joy is not only about God's love for us, but also about the fact that the earth - our simple, dear, ordinary earth - can respond to the love of the Lord in this way. This is a special joy for us.

When we receive mercy from God, our heart rejoices; but sometimes it becomes melancholy: how, how can I repay love for love, where can I find that holiness, that caress, that ability to respond with all my nature to the mercy of God? And then, although we know that each of us is weak and weak in love, we can think about the Mother of God. She answered for all of us with perfect faith, never wavering hope and love so wide that she was able to embrace heaven and earth with this love, open herself with love so that the Son of God became incarnate, and open herself with love for people so that all, the most sinful, can come to her and receive mercy. This is the answer of the whole earth, this is the answer of the whole universe to the love of the Lord.

And so, let us rejoice and take away joy today from this temple - not only for one moment: we will keep it from day to day, we will be amazed at this joy, we will rejoice at this joy and we will begin to give this joy to people so that every heart rejoices and is comforted and it was enlightened by this joy that the earth can contain the sky, that man can answer God in such a way that God would become a man.

And now, from age to age, while the world stands, God is among us, the same Christ is among us, day by day. And when the glory of earth and heaven is revealed, the Lord Jesus Christ, true God, but also a true man, will abide among us as the Mother of God, Who gave Him flesh with Her love, faith, holiness, reverence.

Let us keep, cherish, grow this joy and live by it in the days of sorrow, in the dark days, in the days when it seems to us that we are not capable of anything, that the earth cannot respond to God's love with anything. The earth answered, and this Answer stands forever with uplifted hands, praying for all of us, for the good and the evil, never standing in the way of salvation, forgiving everyone - and She has something to forgive: after all, the people killed Her Son - and we come to Her we resort. Because if She forgives, then no one will judge us.

With what faith we come to the Mother of God, how deep it must be, so that each of us, who participates in the death of the Lord with our sins and unworthiness, could say: Mother, I have destroyed Your Son, but forgive me. And he intercedes for us, and has mercy, and saves, and grows to the full height of the love of the Lord.

Glory to God for this, glory to the Mother of God for this love of Hers. Amen.

Holy Righteous John of Kronstadt. Sermon on the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The righteous parents of the Ever-Virgin mourned for a long time about their infertility, long and fervently prayed to the Lord for the resolution of infertility, which was considered a punishment from God for sins; they did much alms in order to bow down to the mercy of the All-Merciful, and endured insults from their fellow tribesmen, and in this sorrow and unceasing prayer and good deeds they were gradually purified in spirit and inflamed more and more with love and devotion to God and thus were prepared by the Providence of God for the blessed birth of the Most Blessed Daughter chosen from all generations as the Mother of the incarnate Word.

By a narrow and sorrowful path, the Lord leads to the glory and bliss of His chosen ones, for it was also predicted by Simeon to the Mother of God herself according to the flesh that a weapon would go through Her soul and She would experience severe sorrows in her soul during the suffering life of Her Son, may many hearts of human thoughts be opened ( Luke 2:34-35). So sorrowful and cramped is the path of all the chosen ones of God, for the world and the ruler of the world, that is, the enemy of God and men, utterly oppresses the people of God; and the Lord Himself permits them to follow the narrow path, as He helps them to aspire to God and place their hope in Him alone.

But let us turn our gaze from sorrow to joy. What joy does the Nativity of the Mother of God bring us? Let us explain in more detail the church hymn that explains the reasons for the festive joy. Through the birth of the Ever-Virgin, through her only-begotten Son and God, the damned and outcast humanity was reconciled with God, immeasurably offended by their sins, for Christ became the Mediator of reconciliation (Rom. 5:10-11), freed from damnation and eternal death, and was rewarded with the blessing of the Heavenly Father; it united and merged with the Divine nature; elevated to its first property by this dissolution, according to the expression of the church song; the previously rejected man was worthy of adoption by the Heavenly Father, received the promise of a glorious resurrection and eternal life in heaven together with the angels.

All this has been and is being accomplished by the Son of God, incarnated from the Most Pure Virgin by the Holy Spirit, and through the intercession of His Most Pure Mother. How venerated and exalted is humanity through the Holy Virgin Theotokos, for She has been worthy of renewal and adoption by God; and by Her immeasurable humility and the greatest purity and holiness, She herself was honored to be the Mother of the God-man! She always remains the most powerful Intercessor and Representative of the Christian race before Her Son and God! She is our shameless Hope; She removes from us the clouds of God's righteous wrath, opens the ancient paradise to us with her mighty intercession; She upholds the thrones of kings and keeps them immovable forever. She has saved and is saving Russia a thousand times from the beginning to the present day; She exalted her, glorified her, affirmed and affirms her; She is the guarantor of sinners for salvation. Christians turn their countless prayers, petitions, praises, doxologies and thanksgivings to Her; She has performed and is performing countless miracles in the Church, beneficial in all parts of the world.

Let us all lightly celebrate the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, adorning ourselves with all sorts of Christian virtues. Amen.

House of Joachim and Anna

The house of Joachim and Anna is one of the Christian landmarks in Jerusalem. According to Church Tradition, the Virgin Mary was born in the house of her parents, the righteous Joachim and Anna. It was located in the north-eastern part of Jerusalem, now it is the territory of the Muslim quarter of the Old City, near the Lion Gate.

Orthodox and Catholics are still arguing about exactly where the house stood, and they built a monastery and a basilica at a distance of 70 meters from each other. The Orthodox monastery of St. Anna is a place of pilgrimage for many Christians of the world. On the first floor of the monastery there is a church in honor of the Nativity of the Mother of God, and under the building of the monastery there is an ancient cave. It is believed that this cave is part of the house of Joachim and Anna.

Church in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Vladykino

Temple in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Vladykino- the spiritual center of the Moscow region Otradnoye. Address: Altufevskoe shosse, 4.

Vladykino is one of the most ancient villages near Moscow. The first owner of the village was Prince Daniel of Moscow, the son of Saint Alexander Nevsky and a direct descendant of Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir and Princess Olga. In 1322, the village was granted to the patrimony of the thousandth Protasy Velyaminov, who arrived at the service of the Moscow prince. From his name the village got its first name - Velyaminovo.

Three centuries later, in 1619, Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich granted Velyaminovo to Prince Dmitry Mikhailovich Pozharsky, but soon the village passed to Prince Ivan Ivanovich Shuisky. It was under him that a village church was built here in honor of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos (to replace the dilapidated church in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker).

After 1653, His Holiness Patriarch Nikon makes the village his fiefdom and gives it a new name - Vladykino. In Vladykino, a patriarchal travel palace and another temple are being built in honor of the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God.

The first stone church in Vladykino was built in 1770. The bell tower was erected by Count K. G. Razumovsky, the owner of the neighboring village of Petrovskoye. By the middle of the 19th century, the stone church had become very dilapidated. In 1854, on the site of the old one, a new one was built, this time a three-altar one, with side chapels of Archangel Michael and Archangel Gabriel. The main throne in honor of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos was consecrated by St. Philaret, Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna.

AT Soviet years the temple was not closed, even during the most severe persecution of the Church. During the Great Patriotic War not a single shell hit him, although the Germans were standing very close. In the 1970s, there were attempts to demolish the temple during the construction of an overpass at the beginning of the Altufevskoe Highway, but the parishioners were able to defend it.

September 21 Orthodox Church celebrates big celebration. It was on this day that the Mother of God the Virgin Mary was born - the one who gave the world our Lord Jesus Christ. The Mother of God became an invisible bridge between the Lord and man, between Heaven and earth. On this day, Orthodox all over the world congratulate each other on the holiday and give nice words. And in honor of the holiday, we have collected for you beautiful and sincere congratulations in verse. Here you will also find short congratulations for sending SMS.

September 21 - Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin...

September 21 is the Nativity of the Virgin, a holiday that is rightfully considered a joyful event for Orthodox believers. Orthodox Christians on September 21 celebrate the Nativity of the Orthodox Mother of God, which is also called the "Second Most Pure" or "autumn", since on this day folk calendar autumn comes. It just so happened that Orthodox Christians have long turned to the Mother of God, who became the unifying principle between God and the human race, asking for her protection and blessings.

Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Nativity of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary is the most important church holiday, which in Orthodoxy is one of the twelve. The holiday was established by the Church in the 4th century. Recall what is said in the legends about the divine holiday on September 21. In the Galilean city of Nazareth lived an elderly couple - Joachim and Anna. They were very pious and righteous, but for many years they could not have children. Once, on a big feast, Joachim brought gifts to the Lord God in the Temple in Jerusalem. But the priest did not want to accept the gifts, because he was childless, and children were considered a blessing from God. Upon learning of this, Anna burst into tears. Seeing a nest in the garden in which little chicks squeaked, she thought: "Even birds have children, and we have no such comfort in old age." Then an angel appeared to her and said: "You will conceive and give birth to a Daughter, blessed, above all. Through Her, God's blessing will be received by all earthly peoples. Through Her, Salvation will be given to all people. Her name will be Mary." With the same message, the angel appeared to Joachim. Nine months later Anna had a daughter. The birth of the Most Holy Theotokos motivated Joachim to bring great gifts and sacrifices to God. He received the blessing of the high priest, the priests, and all the people for being worthy of God's blessing. The Church calls Joachim and Anna the Fathers of God, because Jesus Christ was born from their Most Holy Daughter of the Virgin Mary.

Since then, the feast of the Nativity of the Virgin on September 21 has always been celebrated by believers with great trepidation.
