Saint of the Week
Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Feast Day - Sep 8
The details of Mary’s birth are unknown. Her parents, not mentioned in the Bible, are called Joachim and Anne in the apocryphal Gospel of James. This book claims that Joachim went into the desert to lament their childlessness and learned in a vision or dream that he and Anne would have a daughter. Ancient traditions put Mary’s birth in Nazareth or Jerusalem. The feast of her birth originated in the East; in the seventh century, Pope St. Sergius I ordered that it and three other Marian feasts, the Annunciation, Purification and Assumption, be celebrated in Rome. This feast is another sign of God’s faithfulness to old and new covenant promises that were fully realized in Mary’s son, Jesus Christ.
Why call Mary "queen?"
After all she is not the King's wife, but His mother. But Edward Sri writes: “A closer look at Scripture, however, shows us that it is precisely from a biblical perspective that Mary’s queenship makes perfect sense. For in ancient Israel, it was the king’s mother who reigned as queen, not the king’s wife.”
