On the Birthday of the Most Holy Theotokos, one must observe spiritual purity, do virtue, help in word and deed. You can not eat meat, other non-lean foods, as well as alcoholic beverages. Any physical work, quarrels, abuse and condemnation are forbidden. Love each other, respect each other and congratulate your family and friends on the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
Peace and goodness to all!

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.

!
Let the soul be filled with bright faith.
You - love, kindness and patience,
To remove all doubts.

So that beautiful happiness shines on you,
It would not be a bad time.
And healthy so that all loved ones are
The sun would warm!

Merry Christmas
I congratulate you today.
May there be health and strength
May the family be happy.

Congratulations on the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Holy Annunciation -
Great day in Russia
With him you feel young
Resurrect in a hard heart;
Respond to the soul, like youth,
With my full breast
For radiant joy
To the smile of spring days.
Observing the holiday strictly,
On this day, the people say
That even a bird praises God
And he does not build a nest for himself;
On this holiday, going out to the field
With a handful full of grain,
Good-natured birds at will
Released old.
Easter days are approaching
Clears a frown
From the alien sides
Swallows fly to visit.
And inspiring the thought of brotherhood,
About the gifts of good love,
As if arguing about wealth
Heaven with sinful earth.
Everyone listens with a keen ear
Anthem of golden dawns,
Wrapped in soft fluff
Young willow branches.
And looks at us, shining
The inaccessibility of miracles,
This eternity is blue
Triumphant skies.

Poems of congratulations on the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Nativity of the Blessed Virgin -
This feast of the beginning has begun!
The people believe sacredly, pray quietly,
So that the Lord sends everyone this day
And patience, and goodness, and joy,
And the great secret of love...
The devil himself is a prankster and a dirty trick -
Runs away, than the demon angers.
The darkness will dissipate, the pain will depart,
The Mother of God is coming to the people.

Holy Mother of God
Gives people shelter
Protecting from loneliness
The birds are singing again.

Under your cover, keeping us
We would have a refuge from troubles.
We ask every day as we live
Send us light, please!

Loved, raised, fed the Son,
And I knew that one day it would be gone forever.
The night told her this knowledge,
The Star of Bethlehem did not let me forget.

She carried this secret in her heart,
Keep it like the holy of holies.
But the choice on her was not made by chance,
She was better than all the women on earth.

She felt the brunt of the loss
When He died saving people.
For fidelity, heavenly doors were opened to her.
As Mother, we worship Her!

Merry Christmas to the Mother of God!
May wonderful wishes
Bring to your happy home
Understanding and recognition.
I congratulate you sincerely,
And I wish you earthly blessings,
Happiness eternal and magical,
Lots of joy every moment!

Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The sinful night turns pale; thinning hopeless,
Deep, bottomless haze of past centuries,
She covered the whole earth. Ever since the Sun of Paradise
She threw her parting ray over the sinful earth,
Leaving a trace of the golden dawn - the hope of redemption,
Flickering and extinguished in the languid night ...
Only midnight stars trembling beam of prophecy
Thrown into the dark abysses, and the pale light of the moon
Cold truth gleams through the Sinai cloud
Hard-hearted, without warming, illuminated,
And shadows, black shadows from all objects fell,
Like stains of crime, witnesses of sin!
Heavenly curse crushed the air with weight,
Like a cloud of lead, fraught with a thunderstorm.
And the cup of God's wrath seemed to overflow,
And the hour of retribution struck over the sinful earth!
But the Lord is good! The night passes, the sinful darkness thins,
A black cloud is leaving, and where the edge of heaven is,
A wonderful strip lit up with multi-colored stones,
Like the wings of an angel flying in the distance.
Streams of golden air, pollinated with crimson,
Azure bordered, crowned with a star, -
Spread out, moved apart, burning with new hope
Shine, shimmer, and breathe, and grow.
Oh, it is You, Dawn of hopes, Mary, Pure Virgin,
Harbinger of the Golden Day, Chosen One of heaven!
In the jets of earthly air in the desire for a wonderful sky
Dawn is born from non-evening light,
So You, O Pure Virgin, born by prayer,
Earthly and heavenly, you shine the dawn for us!
And singing the sacrament of the blessed birth
Most Pure Mother of God, we sing the hymn to Dawn,
Glittering to mankind after the hopeless night,
Like the wings of an evangelist about the coming of the day.
In the rays of dawn, a wonderful luminary of the sky is born,
And the Daughter becomes the Mother for the Sun-sun;
So, glorifying Your Nativity, Mary, Daughter of heaven,
We are all full of hope in Your Son,
In the Sun radiant, in the Light that does not evening,
To Truth, sovereign and eternal Love.

“Your prayer has been heard!.. You will have a daughter!” Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Natalia Sukhinina

A girl was born in the family ... A common phrase about an everyday event. But how small, how inexpressive these words seem, if we attribute them to an event two thousand years ago, when a long-awaited daughter, begged in tearful prayers, was born in the righteous family of Joachim and Anna. Now we say this - the Most Holy Theotokos, the Ever-Virgin Mary, the Mother of God ... And then - in appearance an ordinary child, pure, tremulous, - trustingly peered into the world presented by his parents, and elderly parents rejoiced, looking at Her, and thanked the Lord for sent to old age comfort. A girl was born in the family… But Her birthday is now celebrated as Christmas.

Do you know Christmas? - Why don't we know Christmas! - But there is another Christmas, in mid-September, in the days of the last summer heat and the first timid news of the approaching cold ...

There are no Christmas frosts, but there is Christmas. There are no Christmas trees hung with garlands, but there is Christmas. And Christmas cards with generous wishes do not fly like carrier pigeons around Mother Russia, but there is Christmas. Quiet on earth, light and calm. And we quietly sing the Christmas troparion: “Your Christmas, Virgin Mother of God, joy to erect throughout the Universe.” A girl was born in the family, By her birth - by Christmas she had already taught us the silence of the soul and modesty of thoughts.

It is not uncommon to complain about the lack of positive examples for our children. There are no teachers, no individuals who are ready to lead, teach good and strengthen unsteady children's souls. And Joachim and Anna?! Encyclopedia of family life, in which every deed is a science. Humble. Be in love. Hope. Believe. They were despised for being childless, but they did not grumble. They were called righteous, and they considered themselves "more sinful than all in the world." Years silvered their heads, but they did not lose hope. A humble heart is a gift to the Lord, and He hurries to the humble with a gift: “Anna! Your prayer has been heard!.. You will have a daughter,” the Angel proclaimed the good news. Great joy. And then - a hasty gratitude to the Lord: a promise to consecrate a daughter to Him! What an amazing, what a humble and meek maternal heart. The Mother of God the Virgin inherited it from her mother, and never, even when it was impossible to endure and humble herself by human standards, she did not betray her generous parental inheritance. And why do we so rarely pray to the righteous parents of the Most Holy Theotokos? Why don't we seek their richest experience of family life? Why don't we cry in front of their holy icon, don't ask for admonition and help? They are, in their righteousness, for us the very golden specimens that we crave so much and which we seek with fire in modern textbooks on pedagogy and lectures on family and marriage.

The Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos lit up the sinful earthly world with a ray of grace. The world was silent in anticipation of Salvation. Time will pass, and the small legs of the Virgin Mary will easily and deftly overcome the high steps of the Jerusalem Temple. In the meantime, while happy parents bowed over their dear child. For fifty years they begged for a child. And we... We quickly get tired of prayer, we need it right away, we need it now, we need it quickly. And it’s not given quickly, which means it’s useless, how much you can bruise your forehead on church flooring, how many candles to warm, how much silver to harass. Zapolshennye, in a hurry, of little faith, impatient, touchy - what gifts of the Lord are we waiting for, what bounties we hope for?

The Mother of our God is now celebrating Her Christmas. With this feast, the Most Pure One awakens our hardened souls from hibernation and lack of faith. Today is Christmas... Today is the bright day of the bright glory of the Mother of Light. Let us honor her with songs, honor her with the Christmas troparion, honor her with our unworthy prayer. If only the heart did not absorb the breath of the first, still cautious autumn weather.

The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is not a long-standing event, but a miracle of eternity

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

A few days ago, by the grace of God, we entered into a new church year, and now we are celebrating the first great feast of the annual liturgical cycle -.

In order to understand the meaning of this feast, and with it other church holidays, we must first of all remember that church life is a mystery, incomprehensible to those who are outside the Church.

It is no coincidence that the most important thing in the life of the Holy Church is its center, through which we become partakers of the grace of God, we call MYSTERIES.

We ourselves, with our created mind, could not comprehend this church mystery. But the Lord, by His mercy, gradually opens it to those who live in the Sacraments, who fall to this source of grace and drink its living water.

There are many mysteries in the life of the Church, but one of them is constantly revealed to believers. We enter into communion with her not only when we receive gifts of grace through the Sacraments, but whenever we are in church and participate in divine services.

However, for many of us believers, this mystery continues to be hidden. In order to truly get in touch with it, we need to be not just listeners and spectators of what is happening in the temple, but enter into the experience of those who were the creators of worship and captured it in their prayers and hymns, starting from the time of the apostles, through the martyrs and saints and ending with the ascetics of our time.

The creators of worship, in full agreement with all the fathers and teachers of the Church, tell us that man was created for eternal life, that the true element in which only his soul can live is eternity.

When we bury our dead and pray for the repose of their souls, we ask the Lord to create an eternal memory for them. But this prayer can also apply to us, who are still living on earth, because we also need the Lord to have us in His Eternal Memory: after all, the goal of our life is communion with eternity. Therefore, the best and most valuable wish of the Church is the wish of eternal memory.

And we keep forgetting about it. Burdened with worldly cares and overshadowed by the temporary circumstances of our lives, we forget about what we were created for, we forget about eternity, in which only that which was created by the Lord lives - VIRTUE.

Everything else is swept away and thrown into the fire - into outer darkness. It only seems to us that it exists, but in fact, as one holy father says: “In the beginning there was no evil, because even now it does not exist in the saints and for them it does not exist at all” (1).

Truly, there is only life in God and that which is on the path of acquiring the Kingdom of God in us.

The Holy Fathers tell us that man is created in the image and likeness of God, that he is the crown of nature and the king of all visible creation, and at the same time a keeper of God's grace. They teach that with his body a person is connected with all earthly creatures, because the Lord created this body, dust from the earth (Gen. 2.7), and with his soul he is connected with the Heavenly angelic world. Man stands on the verge of two worlds - earthly and heavenly. “In his creation,” says Gregory the Theologian, “the artistic word creates a living being, in which invisible and visible nature are brought into unity; He creates, taking a body from already created matter and putting life from Himself, delivers another Angel to the earth, a worshiper made up of different natures, a spectator of a visible creature, a secret of a contemplative creature ”(2).

But created in the image of God and placed by the Lord on the verge of two worlds, man did not fulfill his destiny: he sinned, falling away from God, and through him the whole visible world, of which he is the crown, began to depart from the Lord. Then the Son of God appeared on earth, Who by His death abolished death and by His Resurrection opened the way to Eternal life for us. He gave us eternal memory, and not only to us who believe in Him, but also to all visible creatures.

Therefore, the task of a person is to cleanse his soul from sin, to raise and spiritualize also the substance from which his body is created, making it a worthy abode of an immortal soul. The Holy Fathers say that on the day of the last resurrection, not only our souls will appear before the Lord, but together with them our resurrected bodies. And in this earthly life, in his ascent to God, a person can only follow the path indicated to him by the Lord, who placed him on the verge of two worlds. Only in communion with these two worlds and together with them can a person here on earth serve God. The Holy Church constantly reminds us of this in her divine services.

Recently, we performed a New Year's service. On this day, we brought praise to the Lord not only from ourselves, but also from the whole world, visible and invisible, with which we are united in body and soul.

This is clearly stated in the canon of the day: All Your works, O Lord, the heavens, the earth, the light and the sea, the waters and all springs, the sun, the moon and darkness, the stars, fire, men and cattle, so the angels praise Thee. (3)

Whoever believes that these words correspond to reality and that in worship we truly unite with both worlds, he understands what a great mystery lies in Orthodox worship.

This mystery consists not only in the fact that here the boundary between man and all creatures, heavenly and earthly, is destroyed, the boundary that we so clearly feel while living in this temporary world, but also in the fact that through worship we overcome the very boundaries time of the current nature and enter the world of eternity. Therefore, there is nothing temporal in worship, but everything lives in eternity.

Usually, we see the meaning of celebrating this or that event from the life of Jesus Christ or the Mother of God in going to the temple, listening to the Gospel and hymns there, telling about events that happened once very long ago, to remember these events. This is how we can relate to today's holiday, church tradition tells us that about 2000 years ago the Blessed Virgin was born in the Galilean city of Nazareth from aged parents - the righteous Joachim and Anna. It tells that by her birth the Virgin Mary loosened the bonds of their infertility and gave them great joy. Today's hymns tell us about this, and, apparently, the whole meaning of the holiday is to remember these events.

But if we turn to the text of the hymns themselves and try to understand the meaning of what their creators say, then we will be convinced that such an attitude towards the holiday is characteristic only of external people who do not understand the mysteries of church life. In fact, the hymns of the holiday say something completely different. In the verses of this evening we heard: Today the barren gates are opened and the divine divine door is coming ... Today universal joy proclamation, today blowing the wind, the herald of salvation, barrenness of our nature is resolved, and finally: Today barren Anna gives birth to the Virgin Mary(four). What does this mean today? (today barrenness is allowed, today Anna gives birth to the Mother of God). Are these only techniques of figurative, poetic speech, or do these words contain some other meaning?

If you think from the point of view of the wisdom of this world, then the assertion of the real meaning of these words is folly. After all, this all happened a long time ago. But for those who are spiritually wise (cf. Rom. 8:5), everything that happened for us and for our salvation, not only happened in time, but also abides in eternity.

So when we hear today that now the Pure Virgin descends from Anna(5), - the gates of eternity open to us.

The service of today tells us that the birth of the Blessed Virgin was a joy not only for Her parents and relatives who lived in Nazareth, but became a worldwide joy, that it resolved the barrenness not only of the holy righteous Joachim and Anna, but in it barrenness of our nature is resolved and life-giving fruit is born to the world (6).

The divine service reveals to us that the Nativity of the Mother of God was significant not only for those who lived in those days in Nazareth, but it happened for us for the sake of people and for our salvation, which with the birth of Her life a bridge is born today(7) leading us into eternity.

Glorifying the Lord, we end each doxology with the words: . With these words, the Holy Church tells us that the divine service that we celebrate today will be celebrated both forever and forever, because even now it is being celebrated in eternity and joins us to Eternal life.

This is the great mystery of worship, which the Holy Church reveals to us.

Take away from worship its hidden meaning, contained in the words now and forever and forever and ever, and the source of Eternal life flowing in it will be closed for us, you will forever remain cut off from what was and has gone into the irrevocable past, for none of the people can be present at the birth of their mother or father. But we know that the best of our ascetics, those who were the creators of liturgical hymns and canons, drank from this source of eternal life. They learned by experience that worship opens us to the knowledge of eternity.

And for us sinners, the most important thing (and this must always be remembered) is to touch this source of knowledge, which is revealed to us through the mystery of worship.

And for this, while you are still here on earth, with faith, reverence and the fear of God, perceive everything that you see and hear in the temple - everything that is done, sung, read at the service.

And when we now again enter the annual circle of worship, let us remember WHO we are and WHAT WE ARE CALLED TO.

And as we enter into it, the great mystery of eternity will be revealed to us more and more.

The Holy Church believes that we are not alone in celebrating divine services, that together with us the Angelic Powers and the entire Heavenly Church pray and glorify the Lord. Now the Heavenly Forces serve with us invisibly, we sing during Great Lent at the Presanctified Liturgies.

And not only on these great days, but also on all days of the church year, at each Liturgy, before the small entrance, the priest prays: Create with our entrance the holy angels of life, serving us and glorifying Your goodness. It is precisely from here, from this co-presence and co-service with us of angels and saints who have already reached eternity and live eternal life in the Lord, that aspiration to eternity is born in us.

Therefore, during the Divine Liturgy, the priest, after offering the Lord the thanksgiving service about all the saints and fairly about the Most Holy, Most Pure, Most Blessed and Glorious Lady of Our Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary commemorates the living and the departed and prays that the Lord would remember them in His Kingdom, that is, would join them to His Eternal Memory, which is the Kingdom of God.

From this it should be clear to us that the worship performed here on earth is nothing but the successive revelation in time of the mysteries of eternity. And for each of us believers, it is the path that leads us to eternal life.

Therefore, church holidays are not a random collection of memorable days, but points of eternity shining in our temporal world, the passage through which is subject to an unchanging spiritual order. These points replace each other in a certain sequence, they are connected with each other, like steps of a single ladder of spiritual ascent, so that, standing on one of them, we already see the light that illuminates us from another step. Today, too, the reading of the canon is accompanied by the singing of the Vozdvizhenskaya katavasia Moses drew the cross. It would seem that it has nothing to do with today, but in fact it is not. She tells us about the inextricable spiritual connection of the successive church holidays.

This is the light of Exaltation that illuminates us from afar, so that today we begin to enter into it.

The mystery of worship is the greatest of the mysteries of the Church. We ourselves can not immediately comprehend it. But we know that it was revealed to the great and greatest of God's saints. Therefore, entering into their experience through those prayers and hymns in which they captured it, asking for their help and prayers for us sinners, we can gradually begin to touch this great mystery.

And as the elements of eternity are born and grow in us through this, we will treat our temporal life in a different way than now. We will understand then that it is only a path that leads us from the bottom to the top, from the temporal to the eternal.

And then, leaving this life, we, perhaps, will be worthy of the Eternal Kingdom prepared by the Lord for those who already here on earth have begun to enter into His Eternal Memory, which is the greatest achievement for a person going from the bottom to the top.

The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated annually by Orthodox Christians. September 21, and Catholics - 8 September. This is a bright holiday that tells about the amazing birth of the Mother of Jesus Christ. Is it possible to call the birth of the Virgin Mary an accidental event and attribute it to a simple coincidence? After all, so little is known about the earthly life of the Virgin Mary before the birth of Jesus Christ. There is also practically no information about her parents Anna and Joseph.
The family of the righteous from Jerusalem could not conceive a child and suffered greatly from the lack of children. In complete despair, the father of the family, Joseph, went to the desert, where, in complete solitude, he prayed to the Almighty with a request to give him a child. Anna stayed at home, also completely devoting herself to reading prayers. At the same time, angels descended to them and brought good news. The messengers of Heaven foreshadowed the birth of a child who would have to fulfill a special mission. Having reunited, loving hearts knew no bounds to their happiness, and soon an amazing girl was born, who was to become the earthly mother of the Savior. The parents made a vow before the Almighty that the girl's life would be completely devoted to serving God. This event was predetermined in Heaven, and the pious couple was not chosen by chance.
The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary has a special meaning in the history of Christianity, and this must be remembered. On this day, all believers pay tribute to the human Intercessor. Congratulate your loved ones and friends on this bright holiday. Here you can choose wonderful congratulations with beautiful postcards and good wishes in verse and prose.
