In the Orthodox Church, December 26 marks a significant celebration dedicated to the Holy Mother of God and Saint Joseph, commemorating their roles in the life of Jesus Christ.
Known as the Assembly of the Holy Mother of God, this day holds a dual significance - recognizing the revered figure of the Holy Mother and honoring Saint Joseph as the nurturing father of Jesus. As part of this celebration, December 26 also doubles as Father's Day.
The day is marked with solemn liturgies conducted in temples across Orthodox communities, emphasizing the importance of the human nature of Jesus Christ and his upbringing in a family setting under Saint Joseph and the Blessed Virgin.
Through this holiday, the Orthodox Church highlights the integral roles of both the Holy Mother and Saint Joseph in shaping the life and upbringing of Jesus, symbolizing the humanity and familial ties of Christ's existence.
