Of the churchcalendar year of the birth of the pure virgin capable of accommodating god, just as the birth of the messiah was predicted by the creator himself at the beginning of Human History and imprinted in first book of the Old Testament after the fall of the forefathers, the lord announced to them along with this and to all their descendants that the seed of the woman would erase the head of the serpent of the christian tradition ; by this seed it is customary to understand the prophecy about jesus christ. Saint Philaret Drozdov draws attention to the fact that the lord did not say the seed of man or the seed adam used the seed of his wife, however, seed is a concept in human nature related to the masculine principle, thus indicating seeds. The patristic tradition sees a hidden prophecy that the son of god according to human nature, will be born only from the virgin without male seed, emphasizing the great role of the virgin mary in the matter of human salvation.
