Excerpt from The Ave Maria, Vol. 46: A Catholic Family Magazine Devoted to the Honor of the Blessed Virgin; January-July, 1898
On a day like Christmas, when the Church is absorbed in contemplating the sublime mystery of the Incarnate God in. Bethlehem, it is not possible to pay a full tribute of honor to our Bless/ed Lady, by whose means this great wonder has been wrought for the redemption of 'the world. The Church, therefore, in her public offices defers doing so for the space of eight days - that is, until the octave of Christ mas, which falls on the first day of January. The Greek Church, so earnest in devotion to Mary, does not wait so long, but on the very day following Christmas consecrates a special festival to Our Lady, under the title of the Synaxis of the Mother of God.
That the first day of January has had liturgical importance from early times many ancient records testify. Zeno, a Bishop of Verona, who lived in the fourth century, has left us a homily which he preached on this day. It is curious, how ever, to note that the majority of references among early writers on this festival are concerned with the prohibition of various superstitious practices in honor of the idolatrous worship of Janus. This worship led to much riot and licentiousness, as St. Augustine informs us in his sermons for the occasion.
