Orthodox icon of the Nativity of our Most Holy Theotokos (2).

Commemorated September 8th.

The Nativity of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary: The Most Holy Virgin Mary was born at a time when people had reached such a degree of moral decay that it seemed altogether impossible to restore them. People often said that God must come into the world to restore faith and not permit the ruin of mankind. The Son of God chose to take on human nature for the salvation of mankind, and chose as His Mother the All-Pure Virgin Mary, who alone was worthy to give birth to the Source of purity and holiness.

The Nativity of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary is celebrated by the Church as a day of universal joy. Within the context of the Old and the New Testaments, the Most Blessed Virgin Mary was born on this radiant day, having been chosen before the ages by Divine Providence to bring about the Mystery of the Incarnation of the Word of God. She is revealed as the Mother of the Savior of the World, Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Most Holy Virgin Mary was born in the small city of Galilee, Nazareth.

Her parents were Righteous Joachim of the tribe of the Prophet-King David, and Anna from the tribe of the First Priest Aaron. The couple was without child, since St Anna was barren. Having reached old age, Joachim and Anna did not lose hope in God's mercy. They had strong faith that for God everything is possible, and that He would be able to overcome the barrenness of Anna even in her old age, as He had once overcame the barrenness of Sarah, spouse of the Patriarch Abraham. Sts Joachim and Anna vowed to dedicate the child which the Lord might give them, to the service of God in the Temple.

Childlessness was considered among the Hebrew nation as a Divine punishment for sin, and therefore the righteous Sts Joachim and Anna had to endure abuse from their own countrymen. On one of the feastdays at the Temple in Jerusalem the elderly Joachim brought his sacrifice to offer to God, but the High Priest would not accept it, considering him to be unworthy since he was childless. St Joachim in deep grief went into the wilderness, and there he prayed with tears to the Lord for a child. St Anna wept bitterly when she learned what had happened at the Jerusalem Temple.

Never once did she complain against the Lord, but rather she prayed to ask God's mercy on her family. The Lord fulfilled her petitions when the pious couple had attained to extreme old age and prepared themselves by virtuous life for a sublime calling: to be the parents of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, the future Mother of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Archangel Gabriel brought Joachim and Anna the joyous message that their prayers were heard by God, and of them would be born a most blessed daughter Mary, through Whom would come the Salvation of all the World.

The Most Holy Virgin Mary surpassed in purity and virtue not only all mankind, but also the angels. She was manifest as the living Temple of God.The Nativity of the Theotokos marks the change of the times when the great and comforting promises of God for the salvation of the human race from slavery to the devil are about to be fulfilled. This event has brought to earth the grace of the Kingdom of God, a Kingdom of Truth, piety, virtue and everlasting life. The Theotokos is revealed to all of us by grace as a merciful Intercessor and Mother, to Whom we have recourse with filial devotion.

Perfect for cracked heals ♥️
Color: Cheetah, Size: Regular, Color: Cheetah, Size: Regular
These are thick not cheaply made, has a nice texture inside the heal area which I love. I wear them at night after I apply Aquaphor to my heels & while sleeping they are very comfortable. I slipped these guys on & my heels are healing so much faster no more cracked heels for me. 😃 I highly recommend them.

These socks have saved my heels!
Color: Fuzzy Slate Gray, Size: Regular
I really love these socks and how they help my heels to feel. I tend to get large cracks on my heels, and wearing these while I sleep during the summer has saved me a lot of pain. One thing this has disappointed me a bit has been some unraveling of the threads around the top and bottom edges. Doesn't seem to matter how I trim them, the next morning when I wake up there is another hanging thread. Maybe it was just a glitch in the finishing of the batch of socks that I received. I would give them a second chance...this certainly isn't a deal breaker.

They work!
Color: Fuzzy Blue, Size: Regular
The ZenToes Moisturizing Fuzzy Sleep Socks have been a wonderful addition to my nightly self-care routine. Infused with Vitamin E, olive oil, and jojoba seed oil, these socks are designed to soften and hydrate dry, cracked heels, offering both comfort and skincare benefits. The regular size in blue fits perfectly and adds a soothing touch to my bedtime. One of the features I appreciate most is the intense moisturization these socks provide. The infusion of Vitamin E, olive oil, and jojoba seed oil delivers deep hydration to my feet, effectively softening and healing dry, cracked heels. After just a few nights of wearing these socks, I noticed a significant improvement in the texture and smoothness of my skin. My feet feel much softer and more comfortable, which is a relief after long days on my feet. The fuzzy, cozy design of the socks is another standout feature. They are incredibly soft and comfortable, providing a warm and snug fit that’s perfect for sleep. The plush material feels luxurious against the skin, making it a pleasure to wear them overnight. This added comfort enhances the overall experience, making it easier to stick to a nightly moisturizing routine. The design is practical and thoughtful. The socks fit snugly without being too tight, ensuring they stay in place throughout the night. The regular size is perfect for my feet, and they accommodate a range of foot sizes comfortably. The blue color adds a touch of style and fun, making the socks both functional and visually appealing. The socks are easy to care for, which is a significant advantage. They can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle, and they retain their softness and moisturizing properties even after multiple washes. This durability ensures that the socks continue to provide effective hydration and comfort over time, making them a worthwhile investment for foot care. The moisturizing effect lasts long after I take the socks off in the morning. My feet remain hydrated and smooth throughout the day, reducing the need for additional foot creams or lotions. This lasting effect is a testament to the quality and effectiveness of the ingredients used in the socks. Overall, the ZenToes Moisturizing Fuzzy Sleep Socks have exceeded my expectations. Their combination of deep moisturization, cozy design, practical fit, and easy care makes them an essential addition to any skincare routine. The socks have significantly improved the condition of my feet, providing effective relief for dry, cracked heels and ensuring lasting softness and hydration.

THESE THINGS SHED BAD!!!!!!!!!
Color: Pink Strawberries, Size: Regular
These things shed like you wouldn't believe. They're all over my furniture, my floor, my clothes. I'm finding little pink pieces of sock fluff everywhere and it's annoying. I don't think they did that until after I washed them. So if they don't shed on you right away, just wait, it'll most definitely happen. I returned because I won't where them again.

Keeping the crusty heels at bay!
Color: Cotton Gray, Size: Regular
I deal with chronic dry heels that crack if left unmanaged. I bought these in hopes that when I do soak and scrub my heels that I can keep the cracking at bay. These have been a godsend. I wear them every night and my heels are nice and soft. I plan on purchasing more. A couple of things I have noticed, if I wear these during the day, the bottom of my feet do seem to sweat and there is some slipping. I have only washed these are directed (hand washing) and you will want to after a couple washes because it could give a sweaty feet smell. Overall, I highly recommend.
