- The Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary is an optional memorial celebrated in the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church on 12 September.
It was first celebrated in Spain in 1513. [http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintOfDay/default.asp?id=1930] It was associated with the 1683 defeat of the Muslim army outside of Vienna. The Polish king, John Sobieski, arrived at Vienna with his army on the octave of the Nativity of Mary. He entrusted his force to Mary, and the Turks were routed. Pope Innocent XI declared the Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary as a celebration for the universal Church as a memorial of the victory. [http://www.catholicdoors.com/homilies/2003/030912.htm]
