Understanding Christmas Through Mary: Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God
Today concludes the celebration of the Octave of Christmas, and properly speaking, marks the midway point of the celebration of the Incarnation that began on Christmas Eve and that will not conclude until with the Feast of the Lord’s Baptism. We might find it strange, then, that the Church places the Solemnity of the Motherhood of Mary at the center point of the Christmas Season. After all, aren’t we celebrating the birth of Christ? The answer is, absolutely. As Tony Crescio (@anthonycrescio) explains, far from distracting from the celebration of Christ’s birth, today’s celebration in a very unique and clear way reminds us of just whose birth we are celebrating.
