It is further believed that she lived a life completely free from sin. Her immaculate conception in the womb of \nher mother, by normal sexual intercourse (Christian tradition identifies her parents as Sts. Joachim and Anne), should \nnot be confused with the doctrine of the virginal conception of her son Jesus.\n\nThe feast of the Immaculate Conception, celebrated on December 8, was established as a universal feast in 1476 by Pope \nSixtus IV. He did not define the doctrine as a dogma, thus leaving Roman Catholics freedom to believe in it or not \nwithout being accused of heresy; this freedom was reiterated by the Council of Trent. The existence of the feast was a \nstrong indication of the Church's belief in the Immaculate Conception, even before its 19th century definition as a \ndogma.\n\nIn the Roman Catholic Church, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is a Holy Day of Obligation, except where \nconferences of bishops have decided, with the approval of the Holy See, not to maintain it as such. It is a public \nholiday in some countries where Roman Catholicism is predominant e.g. Italy. In the Philippines, although this is not a \npublic holiday, the predominance of Catholic Schools make it almost a holiday.\n\nThe Immaculate Conception was solemnly defined as a dogma by Pope Pius IX in his constitution Ineffabilis Deus, on \nDecember 8, 1854. The Roman Catholic Church believes the dogma is supported by Scripture (e.g. Mary's being greeted by \nAngel Gabriel as \"full of grace\" or \"highly favoured\"), as well as either directly or indirectly by the writings of many \nof the Church Fathers, and often calls Mary the Blessed Virgin (Luke 1:48). Catholic theology maintains that, since \nJesus became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, it was fitting that she be completely free of sin for expressing her fiat. \n(Ott, Fund., Bk 3, Pt. 3, Ch. 2, 3.1.e).","brand":"Picturesongold","offers":[{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866778513561,"sku":"66210-117877-PSS","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866778480793,"sku":"66210-117878-PSS","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless Steel \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866778448025,"sku":"66210-117879-PSS","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866778611865,"sku":"66210-117877","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866778579097,"sku":"66210-117878","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866778546329,"sku":"66210-117879","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold Plated \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866778644633,"sku":"66210-192766","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold Plated \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866778677401,"sku":"66210-192767","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold Plated \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866778710169,"sku":"66210-192768","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866778808473,"sku":"66210-194474","price":219.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866778742937,"sku":"66210-194475","price":269.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10k White Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866778775705,"sku":"66210-194476","price":349.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866778874009,"sku":"66210-117880","price":449.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866778906777,"sku":"66210-117882","price":549.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k Yellow Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866778841241,"sku":"66210-117884","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 2\/3 x 2\/3 IN","offer_id":48866778972313,"sku":"66210-117881","price":449.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 3\/4 x 3\/4 IN","offer_id":48866779005081,"sku":"66210-117883","price":549.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14k White Gold \/ 1 x 1 IN","offer_id":48866778939545,"sku":"66210-117885","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/3510\/4921\/files\/gp_crb4i_66210_1217365666.jpg?v=1786553017","url":"https:\/\/aliviadanny.com\/products\/immaculate-conception-medal-p66210","provider":"Alivia \u0026 Danny","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
