Ascent of Holy Sophia
The Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Nativity of Mary on September 8, the earliest documented evidence of which is a hymn written in the sixth century. At this time the Gnostic Church celebrates the Ascent of Sophia and the gift of Holy Wisdom to man.
The Ascent of Holy Sophia is a celebration of the magnificence of the Wisdom of God. It is a reminder of the cosmic importance of the Divine Feminine and particularly of Her role in the redemption of all emanated things back into the Godhead. As a Sophian Service says of Her: “She is the Great Mother of Compassion, and it is she that has come out forth from the Aeons to give grace to the realm of the Father. It is she who gave us the fire of life. It is she that gives us comfort and joy. She is that beloved spoken of in the Song of Solomon, that sweet honey of closeness to the Divine when we feel the embrace of God. She is the Shekinah, the very Loving Presence of God.”
