The Armenian Church styles her Sourp Asdvadzadzin: the
"Holy Mother-of-God"—an almost cosmic title which has elicited
reverent love from generations of Armenian Christians, and is honored in the
name of many of our churches. In more common parlance she is St. Mary: the girl
of humble piety who carried the Hope of the world within her body, and
delivered Him as a baby in Bethlehem.
Wednesday, December 9, marks the Feast of the Conception
of the Holy Virgin Mary: one of a cluster of holy days on which the Armenian
Church expresses its tender devotion to the mother of Jesus Christ.
She began life as the child of Sts. Joachim and Anna, a
devout couple whose earnest prayer was answered with the birth of a daughter.
Through her life of holiness and purity, and her graceful acceptance of the
role to which God called her, Mary ranks among the pre-eminent exemplars of the
Christian faith, whose birth and very conception are occasions for celebration.
