Why we celebrate Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God?
On 1 January, Catholics of the Roman rite celebrate the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a feast dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which has the highest status in the gradation of feasts – Solemnity. It is among the feasts when attendance at Mass is compulsory.
This feast was established by the Church already in antiquity. It originally appeared, apparently, in the Greek Church and soon afterwards appeared in Rome, spreading to the daughter Churches.
What Do People Do?
The Byzantine, Western Syriac and Eastern Syriac Christians celebrate Mary as the Mother of God on 26 December, while the Coptic Church does so on 16 January. The Eastern Orthodox Church, Traditional Catholics, the Anglican Communion and the Lutheran Church celebrate the Feast of the Circumcision on 1 January. January 1 is the last day of the Christmas octave. In this connection, it should be mentioned that the prayer “Under Your protection we come…”, which expresses the belief in the Virgin Mary, is the oldest of the prayers addressed to the Mother of God, and appeared much earlier than the Council of Ephesus (431), at which this dogma was formulated.
How to Celebrate Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God?
