January 1 is the Feast of Mary, Mother of God ( or Mary, God bearer, or Mary Theotokas. ) The title was applied to Mary by the council of Ephesis in 431 to combat the Nestorian feresy. Contrary to the orthodox Christian belief in the two natures of Jesus The Nestorians held that Jesus was two separate beings... Jesus God, and Jesus Christ. They refused to call Mary God-bearer, but Christ-bearer. They believed that God, being omnipotent, could not die on the cross, but had to be Jesus, the Christ who died.
