The Virgin of the Immaculate Conception

The Virgin of the Immaculate Conception refers to Mary, the mother of Jesus, celebrated for being conceived without original sin. This doctrine, recognized by the Catholic Church, teaches that from the moment of her conception, Mary was preserved from sin to be a pure vessel for Jesus’ birth. This belief emphasizes her special grace and holiness, preparing her to fulfill her role in salvation history. The feast day on December 8 honors this doctrine, highlighting her unique purity and integral role in Christian theology.
