Orthodox Christians around the globe celebrate one of the most significant days in the religious calendar – Saint Mary's Day on 21 September.

Mary was a 1st century Jewish Galilean woman of Nazareth, the wife of Joseph and, according to the gospels, the virgin mother of Jesus. According to Christian theology, Mary conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit while still a virgin, and accompanied Joseph to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born.

Saint Mary's Day was established as early as the 6th century.
