The feast of the Immaculate Conception is celebrated in the United States on December 8, a date linked to the Catholic religion.
As the Win Calendar site tells us, the dogma of Immaculate Conception He says the Virgin was conceived without original sin to be the mother of the son of God. This gave her the role of humble and servant.
The date was established in 1854 by Pío Nono, the then Pope, at the request of universities around the world.
For the announcement he summoned over 200 bishops and ambassadors and thousands of faithful present in St. Peter’s Basilica and expressed: “We declare that the doctrine which says that Mary was conceived without original sin is a doctrine revealed by God and which obliges everyone to believe it as a dogma of faith”.
At that moment the 300 bells of the towers of Rome rang in unison and several carrier pigeons flew. Celebrations were also held in churches around the world.
In Argentina it is traditional to assemble the tree on this date.
