I have never heard her birthday. Interesting.
I mean, she had to be born sometime...just like Christ later.
Of course she has a birthday, it’s nothing I have ever been told before (the actual date). So interesting. I see DJT posted something about it, too.

How do we know its today?
Typically the Church assigns dates for particular feast days. Sometimes it's on a Saint's death day/martyr day, other time it's on their birthday. September 8th is chosen because it's exactly 9 months after December 8th, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, meaning the day that Mary was conceived.
You're probably going to ask, "Well how do we know when she was conceived?! Where is that in the Bible?!?!"
Tradition and historical evidence shows that the feast of her birthday was celebrated before the feast of her conception. So the conception date was worked backwards from her birth date to figure out roughly when it was. Obviously not all pregnancies are exactly 9 months, but 9 months is just a simple starting point. That's it.
I took birthday to mean the day Mary was born, as you do.
Yes I know, I'm explaining why it's September 8th, because it's 9 months after December 8th, the feast of the Immaculate Conception. That's the reason.
Luke 1:46-55 NIV84 And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord [47] and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, [48] for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, [49] for the Mighty One has done great things for me---holy is his name. [50] His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. [51] He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. [52] He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. [53] He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. [54] He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful [55] to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers."

Bless you for posting!
Beautiful painting! Mama Mary is the best!
Where is her birthday recorded or is this just tradition?
It's not Biblical. It's just one more thing the Roman Catholics have leavened into the "fine flour" of the word of God (Matt. 13:33).
If she was born sinless, Mary would not NEED a Savior. The enemy uses Mary to take God's PEOPLE eyes off Jesus. Why 'Lady of Fatima' was named after Muhammad's daughter,Fatima. We are to acknowledge her as the earthly Mother of Jesus, but not to worship. God COMMANDS in Revelation 18:4 "come out of Her my PEOPLE". ALL religions, Catholicism, Judaism,Islamism, Buddhism, Hinduism,yes Homosexualism. This "Rainbow pope" leader of the Catholic Church, celebrated the carrying of a rainbow crucifix into the heart of the Vatican.
"And my spirit has exulted in God my Savior (~Mary, Lk. 1:47)."
