The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Description:

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
All Catholic regions of Switzerland celebrate one of the main theological holidays - the feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Solemn services are held on December 8 in all European churches.

The dogma of the virgin Mary was approved only on 8 December 1954 by Pope Pius IX, although the tradition of the feast of the Immaculate Conception has existed since 1476 thanks to Pope Sixtus IV.

According to the dogma of the Virgin Mary, the only person from the moment of conception was not involved in original sin and received the ability not to commit sins during life. The Blessed Virgin Mary was already at the very moment of her conception, through the exclusive gift of grace and privilege bestowed upon her by Almighty God for the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind, left unsullied by original sin.
