The Nativity of the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary was the fulfillment of promises made by God to her righteous parents, and also the fulfillment of the hope of generations of people who put their trust in God, from Noah to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to King David and his line. The birth of the Theotokos represents the best the human race has to offer to our Creator, and God accepts this gift and returns her to us as the mother of our Savior.

We will celebrate the eve of the feast with Great Vespers on Wednesday, Sept. 7, at 6 PM. 

We will celebrate the feast itself with Divine Liturgy on Thursday, Sept. 8, at 9:30 AM.
