Her birth and ours
The Feast of the Mother of God, celebrated on September 8th, is a major religious occasion in the Christian liturgical year. It is directly connected to Jesus Christ, as it honors His mother, the Virgin Mary, who accepted the divine annunciation and with humility and sanctity became an example of faith and obedience. This feast is based on her life story, inspired by the apocryphal Protoevangelium of James, which narrates her birth, upbringing, and entry into the temple. Although not mentioned in the New Testament, the Church referenced it to emphasize her humility and purity as models for believers. The celebration also serves as a reminder to Muslims of the importance of renewing the spiritual life, uniting with Lord Jesus, and concludes the year with her birth, highlighting humility, faith, and good deeds.
