“Your nativity, O Mother of God, heralded joy to the whole universe. For from you rose the Sun of Justice, Christ our God. He cancelled the curse and poured forth His grace; He vanquished Death and granted us eternal life.”
 
For from you rose the Sun of Justice, Christ our God.
Zekariya,

I see that the Byzantines also use this tile of our Lord, the Sun of Justice, cool 🙂

It is one of my favorite titles of Christ. In the Chaldean Church, we say it like this: Shimsha Rabba dZadeequtha (Great Sun of Justice/Righteousness).

God bless,

Rony

Cool! 👍 Does the Chaldean Church celebrate the Nativity of the Theotokos today?
 
Hail Theotokos!
We shall never cease to hymn to you as one should, O Theotokos, and sy Hail, O Bride and Maiden ever pure!
Hail, O you, through whom Joy will shine forth!
Hail, O you, through whom the curse will disappear!
Hail, O Restoration of the Fallen Adam!
Hail, O Redemption of the Tearful Eve!
Hail O Peak above the reach of human thought!
Hail, O depth even beyond the sight of angels!
Hail, O you who have become a Kingly Throne!
Hail, O you who carry Him Who Carries all!
Hail, O Star who Manifest the Sun!
Hail, O Womb of the Divine Incarnation!
Hail, O you through whom creation is renewed!
Hail, O you through whom the Creator becomes a Babe!
Hail, O bride and Maiden ever-pure!

We do not celebrate the Virgin’s nativity in our eparchy in San Diego. However, I’m not sure about the other eparchies. According to this site, they seem to have celebrated it in a parish in Melbourne.

God bless,

Beautiful feast of the Mother of God! Eastern hymnology is beautiful, and so rich.
Pray for us O bride and maiden ever pure!

Looking forward to the Exaltation of the Holy and Life giving Cross. 😃
