On September 8, Armenian Apostolic Church celebrates Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Qahana.am reminds. "The Bible does not describe the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin: it is transmitted to us by the legend of the Holy Church. The parents of the Blessed Virgin Saints Joachim and Anna for a long time had no children, because they were infertile.

They constantly prayed to God, asking him to give them a child. The Lord heard their prayers, and they had a daughter, whom they named Mary, which means "domination, mistress, hope." She was the one chosen in the earth, whom the Lord honored to be the mother of the Son of God. She suffered for his son, but never felt the fear and did not complain to God, knowing the importance of the high mission assigned to her ," the source writes. Holy Mother of God is the epitome of a virtuous and believing mother, the guardian of the sanctity of the family.
