263. Immaculate Conception

Celebrated annually on December 8th as a solemn feast day, the Immaculate Conception’s observance began with a Papal encyclical by Pope Pius IX, when he formally defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854. The Immaculate Conception is the dogma that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin. This doctrine states that Mary was preserved from the \"stain of sin\" from the first moment of her conception through a unique grace from God, granted in anticipation of her role as the mother of Jesus.
