Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.
December 8 is a special day for Filipino Catholics. It is on this day that the Universal Church observes the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, the patron saint of the Philippines.
As historically recorded, in 1854, the solemn declaration of Pope Pius IX, "Ineffabilis Deus," sharply elucidated the Church's longstanding belief that Mary was conceived free from original sin. She received the gift of salvation in Christ from the very moment of her conception.
Mary is unique in all humanity for being born without sin, She is held up by the Church as a model for all humanity in Her holiness. Churches throughout Philippines country dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Mary celebrate today’s solemnity with special devotion.
Big churches like the Cathedral-Basilica of Manila, the Cathedral-Basilica of Malolos, or Puerto Princesa, Palawan, as well as parishes of the Immaculate Conception in Malabon, or the Shrine of Our Lady of Caysasay in Batangas ... are built in her honor.
The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is a time to celebrate the great joy of God’s gift to humanity in Mary.
The Immaculate Virgin of 8 December was proclaimed by the Philippine bishops as a holy day of obligation alongside with December 25, Christmas Day, and January 1, the Solemnity of the Motherhood of Mary.
