She and John the Baptist are the only two mortals whose nat ivity is celebrated liturgically. She is called the mother of God (more co rrectly: God-bearer\, Theotokos or Yoldath Aloho). Through divine inspirat ion\, countless hymns &\; prayers were written in her honour by the Hol y Fathers. These praises feature in just about every liturgical feast and season. The commemoration of St. Mary's nativity is celebrated in all Orth odox Churches and the feast is attested in Syriac calendar manuscripts fro m the first millennium.In his article about the Holy Virgin Mary\, the thr ice blessed late Patriarch HH Moran Mor Ignatius Zakka I Iwas of blessed m emory states\, "it is noteworthy to mention that the conception of Mary to ok place according to the natural law for she was of a man (Joachim) &\ ; a woman (Hanna). Mary is the child of two once-barren persons\, just lik e Isaac\, Samuel &\; John the Baptist." St. Mary was born in the tribe of Judah\, a descendant of King David through her father &\; she was a descendant of the priestly Levi tribe of Aaron through her mother. She is the descendant of priests\, prophets &\; kings.The Birth of St. Mary in the Syriac Orthodox patristic traditionThere are various stories surround ing the circumstances of St. Mary's birth and childhood. The narratives ge nerally preserved in the Syriac tradition can be extracted from the liturg ical texts and a work entitled "Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary\, the moth er of God" which is subdivided into six books. Book 1 concerns the concept ion and birth of St. Mary\, along with the Annunciation by Archangel Gabri el. An English translation of this text (from the Malayalam) prepared by D r. Sarah Abraham Knight\, will be the primary point of reference.St. Yuyak im was a wealthy man and on the day of an important Jewish festival went t o the temple to offer up the gifts. However\, on account of his childlessn ess\, he was insulted and rebuked by some individuals\, deemed unworthy to offer up anything to God. In shameful despair\, St. Yuyakim leaves the te mple and laments upon his unfortunate circumstances. Comparing himself to righteous Biblical figures who were once-barren\, he decides not to return home to his wife. He sets out to a forest and proclaims a vow of abstinen ce for 40 days\, choosing to fast and pray until God grants him a child. S t. Anne laments on her barren womb\, and the absence of her husband makes her feel widowed. Crying out in distress to the Lord\, she asks why she mu st suffer. As she ends her supplication\, an Angel of the Lord appears to St. Hannah and tells her that she will conceive a child\, an offspring wh o "will become known in all the world." St. Joachim also receives the mira culous message from an Angel and soon returns home. In an act of loving em brace\, St. Ann throws her arms around her husband's neck and says with jo y\, "now I know how much my God has blessed me\, for I was a widow but no longer am\; I was barren and without children. Now I will give birth." Soo n enough\, St. Ann conceived and in the ninth month gave birth to St. Mary . Along with the parents\, the astonished neighbors and temple folk praise d God for this wonderous birth. As St. Mary was born to her parents in th eir old age\, at the age of three she was offered to the temple as fulfill ment of their vow. The prayer from the Sh'himo on Friday morning reads\, ”Mary became an orphan\, for her parents passed away. She was left for t he priests to take care of her. They took her to Jerusalem according to th e command of Moses to be brought up there. The Lord of Prophets descended from high. He blessed and sanctified her. Hallelujah. May the prayer to he r be a fence and protection to us”Oh Virgin St. Mary the mother of God!
