| The Birth of Mary by Master of the Pfullendorf Altar |
Come, all you faithful, let us hasten to the Virgin: for long before her conception in the womb, the one who was to be born of the stem of Jesse was destined to be the Mother of God. The one who is the treasury of virginity, the flowering Rod of Aaron, the object of the prophecies, the child of Joachim and Anne, is born today and the world is renewed in her. Through her birth, she floods the church with her splendor. O holy Temple, Vessel of the Godhead, Model of virgins and Strength of kings: in you the wondrous union of the two natures of Christ was realized. We worship Him and glorify your most pure birth, and we magnify you. ~Byzantine Daily Worship
Happy Birthday, dearest Mary! Blessed are you among woman, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus! Blessed, too, are we for you are our Mother Most Wonderful and you have given us your Beloved Son Jesus, our way, our truth and our life. Alleluia!
