The Birth of Mary September 8 Along with the birth of Jesus and St. John the Baptist, Mary's birth has been celebrated by the Church from early times. In fourth-century Jerusalem a feast of her birth was celebrated at the Church of St. Ann. Probably inspiring the Church of Rome also to celebrated too, this event. Mary's Birth is seen always as part of God's plan for the salvation of the world through Jesus Christ. O Mary, you are blessed, for the mysteries of the prophets are fulfilled in you. You were in the burning bush and in the cloud that Moses saw; you were on the ladder rising up to heaven that Ezechiel saw. You were in the ark of the covenant, that David saw. At your birth these mysteries are fulfilled. Glory to the Father, who sent his only Son through you.
