Tips from the Community
The parents of the Mother of God MARY, whose birth this church celebrates as its patron, are the two saints Anne and Joachim. Thus, they are the grandparents of Jesus, but they are not mentioned by name in the biblical writings of the New Testament. An exact date in the historical-scientific sense is not known for the various stages in the life of the Mother of God. But the feast of the birth of the God-bearer – as one of the numerous honorary titles of Mary is – is celebrated on September 8th in many Christian denominations (Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, and Armenian).
