Italy's Immaculate Conception







Immaculate Conception

     In Italy, a famous holiday celebrated is the Immaculate Conception. This takes place on December 8th, and its considered the start of Italy's holiday season. If you visit Italy around this time, you'll most likely see a lot of Christmas decorations. That is why the picture above is a holy photo, because Christmas is Jesus's birthday.

The Immaculate Conception is celebrated in church. As you can tell from the photo above, many Italians meet up in their church to worship and celebrate this day. Depending on what you believe though, this holiday would have a different meaning. For example, if you are Catholic, you most likely believe that the Immaculate Conception is the day that Mary was kept free from her sin.
