December 8th - Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception of Our Blessed Mother! A mistake is that this refers to the conception of Jesus when, in fact, it refers to Mary being conceived without Original Sin. It makes sense because carrying the baby Jesus in a sinful woman wouldn't make sense so God, in His literally infinite wisdom, made sense of it!
Hail, Queen of the heavens!
Hail, Mistress of earth!
Hail, Virgin most pure,
Of immaculate bith!
Clear star of the morning,
In beauty enshrined!
O Lady, make speed
To the help of mankind!
(Anonymous: Salve mundi domina Tr. Caswall 19th century)
