The Nativity of the Theotokos (Mother of God)

[Zekariya]

Troparion of the Nativity of the Theotokos in the Forth Tone
“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.”

 

[MaryT777]

Amen.

 

[ronyodish]

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!
______From the Akathist to the Theotokos

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.
