The birth of the Holy Virgin

It was said in Medjugorje that the 2000th birthday of the Holy Virgin was 5 August 1984.[1] Hence the Holy Virgin was born 2000 years earlier: on Gregorian 5 August 17 BC = factual Julian 5 August = theoretical Julian 7 August = actual 4 August = 21 Av. The date of 5 August is the liturgical date for the consecration of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome (consecrated by Pope Sixtus III, 432-440 AD).

Since the Holy Virgin was born around midnight,[2] it was during the night of Saturday[3]/Sunday factual Julian 4/5 August 17 BC. Christ was likewise born at midnight.[4] The Holy Virgin and Christ also both died at the same time of day (3 p.m.).[5] The Holy Virgin[6] and Christ both resurrected during the night. The crucial moments in the lives of Christ and His mother are related in time.

On Tuesday 6 November 1821 (which vision relates to Tuesday actual 2 November 14 BC), A.C.E. said that the Holy Virgin was 3 years and 3 months old when joining the Temple virgins.[7] The Holy Virgin entered the Temple on Thursday actual 4 November 14 BC, which date falls exactly 3 years and 3 months after her birth: actual 3/4 August 17 BC-actual 4 November 14 BC.

The Holy Virgin was “born in the seventh age of the world.”[8] It was 49 years (= one Jubilee cycle) before the crucifixion of Christ in 33 AD (17 BC-33 AD = 49 years).

    Liturgy commemorates the birth of the Holy Virgin on 8 September. This birth date of the Holy Virgin was revealed on the night of 7/8 September, 250 years after the death of the Holy Virgin[9] or in the year 250 AD.[10] The liturgical date falls 1 month and 3 days after the historical date. Analogously, the incarnation and birth of Christ are placed 1 month after the historical dates.[11]

[3] People had been travelling and herding on the day before the birth of the Holy Virgin (A.C.E., Mary, 74). Yet travelling was (exceptionally) permitted on Saturdays (A.C.E., Life, 2:134: “Although it was the Sabbath, Jesus had undertaken this journey, for here in the country, when necessity intervened, He did not strictly observe this law”), and herding did not belong to the activities forbidden on Saturdays (m. Šabb. 7.2).
