The Feast of 8 September originated in Jerusalem. In the 7th century, in
the Byzantine Rite and at Rome, the Birth of the Blessed Virgin was
celebrated this day. The feast is also celebrated on September 8 in the
Syriac Rite and on September 7 in the Coptic Rite.
The Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows was originally granted to the Order of
the Servants of Mary in 1667; it was introduced into the Roman Calendar in
1814 and assigned to the third Sunday in September. In 1913 the date of
the feast was assigned to September 15.
