The report on the incident of Virgin Mary’s Income is made in two occult Gospels: the Capital of James (and the Gospel of False-Matthew). According to these, the godly parents of the Virgin Mary, Jehoiakim, and Anna, after twenty years of married life, were childless and earnestly begged God to give them a child. God announced with an Angel that their desire will be fulfilled and Anna promised to dedicate the child to God. Indeed, Anna became pregnant and after nine months she had a daughter, Miriam (Marie). When Miriam became three years old, she was led by her elderly parents to Solomon’s Temple, to fulfill their order to God. Mary rose alone the 15 steps leading to the Temple and was delivered by her parents into the hands of priest Zachariah. He hugged her, blessed her and said: “The Lord has raised your name in all generations. With you will the nations be blessed, and the LORD will deliver the sons of Israel.” He then raised the three – year – old Mary inside the altar, where God offered her his Grace. The young girl served the Temple until his 14 years, when she became engaged to Joseph and then became the mother of Jesus Christ. * There are other dates that celebrate this name. At the same time, today, we honor the Armed Forces of our country. Also today is: World Philosophy Day, World Television Day and World Greetings Day.
