The Light that gave birth, illuminating all creation, today Anna begins to vegetate with barren falsehoods. Let us all therefore wait, for deliverance from the condemnation of Evin has come.

A little history

The story begins with the married couple of Saint Anne and the holy righteous Joachim. They lived in Nazareth, near the Sea of Galilee, in the northern part of Palestine, and spent every new day with the hope and dream of children. However, righteous Anna was barren. This was God's Providence. All dreams of conceiving a child were shattered when the sun set.

Joachim and Anna led a pious life: for 50 years, every year they donated two-thirds of their earnings to the poor and the Jerusalem Temple. In their house there was no litter, there was no swearing, only one sublime feeling filled their abode - love.

Thus passed the years of countless attempts to have a child. But even despite the setbacks, the couple did not despair. They prayed fervently and asked God for a miracle. Anna blamed herself, grieved, and promised to give the Almighty a born child. And after 20 years of marriage, 20 years of prayer and fasting, a miracle happened, God heard them. The conception took place on December 9, and nine months later, on September 8, the Virgin Mary was born.

Anna Winter - December 22, 2021: folk signs and traditions

In Rus', on December 22, pregnant women were prohibited from being seen by sick people, lighting a fire, knitting and embroidering. Ancestors superstitiously believed that a fire lit by a woman would leave a mark on the child’s body, tangled threads would twist the umbilical cord, and people with injuries would pass on their illnesses to the baby, writes hollydays.ru.

At the conception of Saint Anne, autumn ends and winter begins.
If on December 22 there are large snowdrifts and the trees are covered in frost, next year will be fruitful.
Like Anna before noon, so is winter until December. What Anna before the night, what winter before spring.
If the sun is shining on December 22, then on December 31 the day will be clear.

The meaning of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception

Adam's fall, which consisted in disobedience to the will of God, deprived him of those supernatural gifts with which God, in His goodness, endowed his human nature. Deprived of them, Adam gave birth to offspring deprived of these gifts; Moreover, every person is born with some defect in his nature in comparison with the perfect nature that was given to Adam and Eve at their creation. The deprivation of supernatural gifts and the defect in natural nature constitute the original sin of every person.

If the Mother of God is not excluded from the general law of heredity, then it means that she was born in original sin. The Savior was a true man, He took upon himself all the properties of human nature, except sin; therefore, He, according to the law of this nature, was nourished in the womb of the mother from her blood, from her nature. If the Mother of God was born in original sin, then it means that the Savior - God, Holiness itself - was nourished by sinful nature!
Sin, even original sin, makes a person a slave of the devil. If sin had touched the Blessed Virgin and remained on her, then the Savior would have been the son of the devil’s slave. If we assume that she was freed from sin after her birth (for example, before the Annunciation or at the conception of the Savior), then the Savior would still be the Son of the former slave of the devil.

This, obviously, could not have happened, and to prevent this from happening, the Lord, in the name of God the Son, who was incarnate from her, freed her from inheriting original sin. This absence of sin in her, whose womb from eternity was destined to receive, bear and give birth to the Son of God, must be absolute.

The Dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary confesses that from the first moment of the union of the soul of the Blessed Virgin Mary with her future body, she was not involved in original sin.

The Blessed Virgin had a supernatural, gracious destiny - to become the Mother of God; her nature received supernatural grace-filled power for the implementation of this motherhood.

God the Father prepared an earthly paradise for our first parents; therefore it is also fitting that He should prepare a worthy abode for His Son, the Redeemer. God the Son protected the human race from slavery to the devil and sanctified St. John in his mother's womb; therefore, it is necessary that He protect His Mother from the power of the enemy and pour out even greater grace on her than on His Forerunner. It is also necessary that God the Holy Spirit protect His Bride so that she will not be vicious for a single moment of her existence.

Establishment of annual veneration

While engaged in preaching, the woman gained fame for her kind, sympathetic and merciful nature, for which many believers learned about her. Today, parishioners are recommended to go to the temple to honor the memory of Righteous Anna, as well as to take part in a solemn service in her honor. If you do not have the opportunity to visit the temple for prayer, it is best to pray several times in front of her bright image at home, asking for grace and health for yourself, family and friends.
