This is one of the main Twelve holidays, the date of which does not change from year to year.
Western Christians celebrate it on September 8. The event opens the annual cycle of holidays and reminds that the birth of the Virgin Mary was the eve of the incarnation of God on earth. On this day it is customary to pray for the welfare of the family and the gift of children. John of Kronstadt reminded that the Lord leads the elect in a mournful way, and the Virgin herself went through great sorrows. Through her birth, humanity was reconciled to God. The icons depict righteous Anna on a bed, a maid and a font with a baby.
The night before, and the night before, is full of blue. No fasting, fish is allowed.
