International Women's Day

Reflection on March 8 ," International Women's Day", or the "Purim" celebration of the modern
world.

Although "International Women's Day", 8 March, is not a written holiday on the Christian
calendar, for its links to biblical figures of faith and its good examples to follow, 8 March also
deserves a Christian approach. A good part of mankind honours 8 March, "International
Women's Day". But this honour is also firmly rooted in the Bible, where it says that God himself
honoured woman when he created her as a beautiful daughter in his own image and likeness, and
that God made her the perfect, equal and complementary half of man. It also says that God made
woman the mother and angel of the children to be born into the world, children destined to take
the place left empty in heaven by the fallen angels.

Since 8 March 1911, every year on this date, "International Women's Day" is celebrated. The
promoter of this beautiful celebration is Clara Zetkin (1856-1933), a Jewish intellectual born in
Wideran, Germany and died in Arhangelskoie, Russia. When some governments were reluctant
to recognize the role of women in society and in the family, the equality of women with men,
this courageous woman, Clara Zetkin, stood up and spoke out for her discriminated sisters all
over the world, categorically and publicly asking the states and governments of the world to
recognize and grant women the rights that God himself confirmed through creation. As a Jewish
woman, Clara Zetkin told those who feared the equality of women with men and an international

women's holiday that she wanted nothing more than a new woman and a new holiday, following
the biblical model of Esther and the holiday of Purim, through the celebration of women on
March 8. And according to the Bible, Esther is a bright portrait of a woman, that is, a woman
pleasing to the face and modest in soul, a wise woman, an obedient woman, humble, a loyal and
persevering woman, and "Purim" a chosen day.

I would like to conclude my speech with an excerpt from Clara Zetkin's speech, the promoter of
March 8, "Just as men and women participate equally in the act of conceiving children, they
must also participate equally in the act of education, for education is the most important act after
conception and birth. That is why the moral and spiritual power so necessary in the educational
process must be shared harmoniously between man and woman. We therefore declare that
education must not be the work of the mother alone, but of both parents" (Mannheim, Germany
1906).
