What is the Principle of Indictus and why is September 1st celebrated?
On the 1st of September every year, our Church celebrates its Beginning Indictus, that is, the beginning of the new Ecclesiastical year.
September 1 was established as the beginning of the ecclesiastical year as follows:
In the region of the East more calendars had September 24, the day of the autumnal equinox, as New Year's Day.
but because the 23rd was the birthday of the Roman emperor Octavian, the new year was moved to September 23rd, which was determined as the beginning of the Indictus, that is, the period of the Roman tax decree that was valid for 15 years. Thus Indictos came to mean later the year and beginning of Indictos in the New Year.
The Church found this New Year and gave it a Christian content, since it placed in it the celebration of the capture of the Forerunner, which is also the first event of Evangelical History.
The Indiction is a more general way of measuring time every 15 years starting from the birth of Christ or to be precise from 3 BC.
For this case, Saint Nicodemus the Saint writes to his Synaxarist: the Church celebrates the Indiction today, for three reasons.
First, because this is also the beginning of time. For this reason, and close to the ancient Pomans, she was highly respected from ancient times. Indiktions, according to the Roman, that is, Latin language, wants to say a definition.
Yeah Secondly the Church celebrates this, because on this day as well, our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into the Synagogue of the Jews, and the Book of the Prophet Hsai was given to him, as the Evangelist Luke writes. Which Book did the Lord open, oh wonder! he immediately found that place, that is, the beginning of the sixty-first chapter of Hsai, in which these words are written in his own words:
"Spirit of the Lord upon me, anoint me, send me to evangelize the poor, heal the brokenhearted, preach forgiveness to the captives and recovery to the blind, send the broken in forgiveness, proclaim that the Lord alone is acceptable".
When the Lord read these words about him, he secured the Bible and gave it to the servant. Then you sat down, he said to the people "that today the words of this Prophecy have been fulfilled in your own ears". When the people heard these things, they marveled at the graceful words that came out of his mouth, thus writes the Evangelist Luke (himself).
It is also third reason, for which the Church of Christ commemorates today the Indictus, and celebrates the beginning of the new year:
sing, that through the hymn and prayer, where we offer to God in this feast, may the God of heaven be born to us, and bless the new time, and grant it to us happy and full of all physical goods. May it enlighten our minds, to spend all the time cleanly and with a good conscience, and to please God, by keeping his commandments. And so may we be blessed with eternal goods in Heaven".
