Having just celebrated the Nativity, the Church concludes the octave of Christmas by honoring Mary under her greatest title, Mater Dei — the Mother of God. Upon the fact of her divine Motherhood depend all her dignities and prerogatives. The Christmas octave will close with a day honoring Mary as the Mother of God. “This celebration... is meant to commemorate the part played by Mary in this mystery of salvation.”
