re: Once again...before I am banned...happy feast day of the Immaculate Conception!

You know this is about Her birth and being free from original sin?

I am in Cartagena, Colombia and they celebrate the feast day the night before with parades, horses, wearing all white. We had no idea and we are staying right over the Cathedral’s plaza. Was amazing.

But, the Church concluded that Mary was born to infertile parents through an act of God and then was born without original sin, so she could be the vessel and mother that would bring the Savior who would offer the hope of salvation. Happy Christmas season, all!
