Today is a national holiday and holy day of obligation. Since my catechism studies were so many years ago I have forgotten so much regarding many of the holy days. I am left wondering why the celebration of the Immaculate Conception takes place in December? It begs many questions....

The 8th of December is when Anna, the mother of Mary (Jesus's mom), was concieved.
