This day joins many other days in the universal calendar of the Roman Rite in honor of the Blessed Mother. Each focuses on a different event of her life or on a particular attribute, ultimately pointing to the marvelous work of the Holy Trinity.

Flip the cards below to see which major Marian feasts are celebrated by the universal Church.(Note: This includes “obligatory” feasts and memorials in the universal calendar, when the feast or memorial is required to be celebrated in all places. This is distinct from “holy days of obligation,” when Mass attendance is required; the obligation to attend is defined by local bishops’ conferences and ordinaries. A feast may be both an obligatory feast and a holy day of obligation.)
