Day of Virgin Mary’s Induction to Church Celebrated on December 4

Orthodox church celebrates the day of Virgin Mary’s induction to church tomorrow.

Liturgy will be delivered in temples today regarding this day.

As InterPressNews was told by the patriarchy, Illia the Second will deliver pine service at Sioni Temple tomorrow.

Parents of Virgin Mary, Joachim and Anna remained childless during 50 years – years of prayer and hope against all hope – before Anna was able to bear, in her old age. She promised God that she would endow her daughter to God. Angel Gabriel annunciated her that she would have daughter – Mary. Her daughter would become the Mother of our Lord Savior. Therefore, Mary has been, ever since her conception, the fruit of a long awaited and marvelous expectation, and of a miracle of God.

Marry was brought up at home for 3 years. Parents took her to Jerusalem temple.
