Nativity of Mother of God is observed
The Orthodox Christians celebrate today, September 21 the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Nativity of Mary, or the Birth of the Virgin Mary, which is a Christian feast day celebrating the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
By tradition, the people on this feast day go on pilgrimages to monasteries and go to church and take fruit, bread and candles for being blessed there. The parishioners go to the service in the morning and kneel before the Icon of Virgin Mary.
The people say one should not start fire on this day as this will bring evil, but the priest noted the religious holidays have nothing to do with superstitions.
It is said that the Nativity of Mary represents the astronomic border between summer and autumn and the moment when the autumn agricultural works should start.
On this day, a number of churches, communities and families celebrate the ‘hram’ or saint patron’s day.
Also, the women called Maria (Mary) celebrate the name day.Latest News
