Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord

TO EVENTS
Add to Your Calendar: 01/01/2012 01/01/2012 America/New_York Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord

January 1st is a Holy Day of Obligation; however, this year it falls on a Sunday.

Since the Mosaic Law commands that if a woman give birth to a male child, he should be circumcised in the foreskin of his flesh on the eighth day (Lev. 12:2-3), on this, the eighth day from His Nativity, our Saviour accepted the circumcision commanded by the Law. According to the command of the Angel, He received the Name which is above every name: JESUS, which means "Saviour" (Matt. 1:21; Luke 1:31 and 2:21).

The Feast of the Circumcision commemorated the first shedding of Christ’s Blood on behalf of mankind.

There is another reason to commemorate this feast, as it is the eighth day from Nativity, and is the day that Christ The Lord was NAMED “Jesus”.

According the new liturgical calendar, the feast celebrated on the octave day (eighth day) of Christmas, January 1: the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God. In fact, the Church regards this feast as so important that it is a Holy Day of Obligation. On this day, we are reminded of the role that the Blessed Virgin played in the plan of our salvation. Christ's Birth was made possible by Mary's fiat: "Be it done unto me according to Thy word."
