September 9 annually celebrates The Synaxis of Saints Joachim and Anne, the birth parents of Mary, and the maternal grandparents of Jesus — according to long-standing Christian tradition and ancient apocryphal texts, as they are not named in the canonical Gospels. Synaxis is a Greek term that means a "gathering" or "assembly" for religious worship. Eastern Orthodox and certain Eastern Catholic churches (such as the Maronite Church) recognize this Synaxis. The joint feast day of Anne and Joachim is celebrated every year on July 26 by Catholic and Protestant Anglican & Episcopal Churches. The couple are recognized as the patron saints of grandparents and elders. Anne is also a patron of mothers, women in labor, and childless couples.

September 8 annually celebrates The Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The date (marked on Roman Catholic Church, Byzantine Orthodox Church, and many Protestant Anglican & Lutheran calendars) falls exactly nine months after the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on December 8, which marks Mary's conception. Most saints are remembered on the anniversary of their death (their "birthday to heaven"), but the Church celebrates the physical birth ("nativity") of only three people: Jesus on December 25, St. John the Baptist on June 24, and the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 8. Christians view Mary's birth as the turning point that prepared the way for the arrival of Jesus Christ. The Bible does not mention Mary's birth. Instead, details about her parents, Sts. Joachim and Anne, come from early Christian tradition and the apocryphal Protoevangelium of James. Let’s explore the birth of Mary, mother of Jesus, using this same apocryphal text.

September 7 is Labor Day, so let's revisit Jesus telling the story of a father who asks his two sons to work in his vineyard in the Gospel of Matthew (21:28-32). The first son initially refuses but later changes his mind and works. The second son agrees to work but then doesn't. The father's will is done by the first son, who repents and obeys, while the second son, who makes a false commitment, doesn't fulfill it. E242.

Searching for the Historical Jesus requires mastering various academic disciplines. A core concept in historiography, historical revisionism is the reinterpretation of a historical account that usually involves challenging the established, accepted or traditional views held by scholars about a historical event or time-span or phenomenon, introducing new or contrary evidence, or restating the motivations and decisions of the people involved. E237.
