1st Feast Day of the Indiction
|
|
September 1st is the first day of the Orthodox Ecclesiastical Church. It is called the beginning of the "Indiction". The word "Indiction" is a Latin word meaning "impose" (to make somebody do something).
The first official worldwide indiction originated with the Emperor Constantine when he saw a miraculous vision of the "sign of the Cross" in the sky.
The JULIAN CALENDAR &
YEAR began In January and ended in December. The Gregorian calendar took its place, because the Julian calendar was thirteen days behind. Today we use the Gregorian calendar.
According to Holy Tradition, it was on September 1st that our Blessed Lord first entered the Jewish Synagogue to preach his mission.
