Leavetaking of the Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos Into the Temple

Commemorated on November 25
According to Holy Tradition, the Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos into the Temple took place in the following manner. The parents of the Virgin Mary, Saints Joachim and Anna, praying for an end to their childlessness, vowed that if a child were born to them, they would dedicate it to the service of God.

Troparion — Tone 4

Today is the prelude of the good will of God, / of the preaching of the salvation of mankind. / The Virgin appears in the temple of God, / in anticipation proclaiming Christ to all. / Let us rejoice / and sing to her: / Rejoice, O Divine Fulfillment of the Creator’s dispensation!
Kontakion — Tone 4

The most pure Temple of the Savior: / The precious Chamber and Virgin; / the sacred Treasure of the glory of God, / is presented today to the House of the Lord. / She brings with her the grace of the Spirit, / which the angels of God do praise. / Truly this woman is the abode of Heaven!

Celebrated November 24, 25
The Holy Great Martyr Catherine was the daughter of Constus, the governor of Alexandrian Egypt during the reign of the emperor Maximian (305-313). Living in the capital, the center of Hellenistic knowledge, and possessed of a rare beauty and intellect, Catherine received an excellent education, studying the works of the greatest philosophers and teachers of antiquity. Young men from the most worthy families of the empire sought the hand of the beautiful Catherine, but she was not interested in any of them. She told her parents that she would enter into marriage only with someone who surpassed her in nobility, wealth, comeliness and wisdom.
