The <strong>devotion<\/strong> shown to her by the faithful has always manifested in various ways within the Catholic Church. The numerous Marian feasts that punctuate the Catholic calendar are moments when devotional acts, prayers, the recitation of the Rosary, and all expressions of faith and affection for the figure of the Mother of God take on a broader dimension that embraces all believers. It is hard to determine whether <strong>popular devotion<\/strong> to the Virgin, veneration offered by her humblest children, who have always turned to her, pleading and weeping for the comfort only a mother can provide, or the <strong>theology<\/strong> composed on Mary by great scholars and Church Fathers came first. Already in the <strong>Gospel of Luke<\/strong>, Mary is identified by the Archangel Gabriel as the \u201crecipient of divine favour and grace\u201d (Luke 1:28), and it is made clear from the outset that \u201c<em>the Lord is with her<\/em>\u201d (Luke 1:28).<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5622 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/07\/immaculate-mary-20-cm.jpg\" alt=\"immaculate mary 20 cm\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"Marian Feasts: Here Are All the Annual Celebrations Dedicated to Mary\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/?p=5620\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/statues\/hand-painted-wooden-statues\/immaculate-mary-20-cm\">Immaculate Mary 20 cm<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">Handicraft carved with pantograph, hand finished and hand-painted.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Catholic Church further ennobled her figure over the centuries, attributing to her the dogmas of the <strong>Immaculate Conception<\/strong>, at the centre of controversies for centuries and finally proclaimed by Pope Pius IX in 1854 with the bull <em>Ineffabilis Deus<\/em>, and the <strong>Assumption<\/strong>, already recognized since the 5th century AD in popular devotion and proclaimed in 1950 by Pope Pius XII with the apostolic constitution <em>Munificentissimus Deus<\/em>. The veneration of Mary, recognized by dogma as the <strong>Mother of God<\/strong> since the Council of Ephesus (431 AD) and defined as the <strong>mother of the Church<\/strong> in the Second Vatican Council (1962 &#8211; 1965), has always been greatly encouraged. Certainly, it has never lost its character of <strong>affection and supplication<\/strong>, as no other figure in the history of Christianity has been able to embody mercy and the will to help and protect people, especially in times of greatest difficulty, like Mary, Mother of Jesus and Mother of all humanity.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, we have virtually traveled among the many <strong>shrines dedicated to Our Lady<\/strong> in Italy, true beating hearts of this devotion, each with its own characteristics, its own history, and its own modes of worship.

We have already dedicated an article to the feast of Mary, Mother of the Church, instituted by Pope Francis in 2018. Let\u2019s see which other important Marian feasts and observances there are.

Celebrated by both the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church, it is one of the Feasts of the Lord and thus dedicated to Jesus, but equally to His mother Mary. It commemorates<strong> the encounter between Mary and the Archangel Gabriel <\/strong>when the angel announced to the Virgin the coming of the Messiah and she accepted the role that God had chosen for her in the events to come.<\/p>\n<h3>13 May: Our Lady of Fatima<\/h3>\n<p>Like the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, that of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/statues\/resin-and-pvc-statues\/our-lady-of-fatima-43-cm-statue-in-resin\"><strong>Our Lady of Fatima<\/strong><\/a> commemorates the first apparition of the latter, which took place on <strong>13 May 1917<\/strong>.

On 20 May, the statue of the Virgin Mary Most Holy Mater Domini, Mary Mother of God, kept in the Sanctuary of Laterza, is carried in procession to the Mother Church of St. Lawrence. This ancient patronal feast is very dear to the inhabitants of Laterza, but also attracts pilgrims and curious visitors from Campania, Basilicata, and Lazio. The procession, named Peregrinatio Mariae, was first instituted in 1985.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>31 May: Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The liturgical feast of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/bas-reliefs\/stone-bas-reliefs\/the-visitation-bas-relief\"><strong>Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary<\/strong><\/a> is celebrated on 31 May and commemorates the meeting between Elizabeth and the Virgin Mary as narrated in the Gospel of Luke. Mary had just received the Annunciation from the Archangel Gabriel and went to Judea to visit her relative Elizabeth, who had conceived in her old age. When Elizabeth saw her, the child in her womb, who would become John the Baptist, leaped, and Elizabeth greeted Mary as the future mother of the Saviour. On that occasion, the Madonna also expressed her gratitude to God with the canticle contained in the first chapter of the Gospel according to Luke, known as the Magnificat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5632 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/07\/the-visitation-bas-relief.jpg\" alt=\"the visitation bas relief\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"Marian Feasts: Here Are All the Annual Celebrations Dedicated to Mary\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/?p=5620\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/bas-reliefs\/stone-bas-reliefs\/the-visitation-bas-relief\">The Visitation bas relief<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">A pyrenean stone Bas Relief, completely hand-pianted, depicting the Visitation, the Magnificat.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Monday after Pentecost: Mary, Mother of the Church<\/h3>\n<p>The Marian title of Mary, Mother of the Church, <em>Mater Ecclesiae<\/em>, was long debated, but only in March 2018 did Pope Francis decree the obligatory celebration of the liturgical memorial of Mary, Mother of the Church on the <strong>Monday after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/pentecost-day-celebrate-holy-spirit-birth-church\/\">Pentecost<\/a><\/strong>.

This episode gave rise to the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and the scapular remains today for the Carmelites the symbol of Mary\u2019s maternal protection.<\/p>\n<h3>5 August: Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major<\/h3>\n<p>On 5 August 352 AD, the Madonna appeared to Pope Liberius and instructed him to build a church at the point where the following morning he would find snow. Thus, after a miraculous snowfall in August, the <strong>Basilica of St. Mary Major <\/strong>was born, one of the four papal basilicas of Rome, located on the Esquiline Hill. It is also the oldest Marian shrine in the West, dedicated to Mary, Mother of God.<\/p>\n<h3>15 August: Assumption of Mary<\/h3>\n<p>15 August is the day of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/statues\/resin-and-pvc-statues\/assumption-of-mary-statue-with-angels-in-resin-18x12x6-cm\"><strong>Assumption of Mary into Heaven<\/strong><\/a>. Although the dogma of the Assumption, according to which Mary ascended to heaven body and soul, was proclaimed only by Pope Pius XII, thanks to papal infallibility, it has very ancient origins and has always been linked to popular tradition.

Mary&#8217;s parents were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/the-story-of-saint-anne-mother-of-mary\/\"><strong>Joachim and Anne<\/strong><\/a>, and the tradition that places Mary&#8217;s birth on 8 September is linked to the construction of the Basilica of St. Anne in Jerusalem in the 4th century AD. This basilica was built on the site where the house of Mary&#8217;s parents once stood, where the Mother of Jesus is believed to have been born. In the agricultural world, the celebration of Mary&#8217;s birth coincides with the harvest time and the end of summer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-article\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5639 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/07\/Nativity-of-Mary.jpg\" alt=\"Nativity of Mary\" width=\"150\" height=\"99\" data-kale-share-title=\"Marian Feasts: Here Are All the Annual Celebrations Dedicated to Mary\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/?p=5620\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"leggi-anche\">Read more:<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/the-nativity-of-mary-when-and-why-is-it-celebrated\/\"><strong>The Nativity of Mary, when and why is it celebrated?<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n8 September is the birthday of Mary, the mother par excellence, the woman who changed the history of the Church and humanity&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>12 September: Holy Name of Mary<\/h3>\n<p>Since the 12th century, there has been a strong devotion to the <strong>name of Mary<\/strong>, fostered by many popes who made it the focal point of various indulgences. An initial official feast was instituted but for some time remained confined to Spain. It was Pope Innocent XI Odescalchi who, in 1685, established the date of the <strong>Feast of the Holy Name of Mary <\/strong>on 12 September to commemorate the liberation of Vienna from the Turkish siege (12 September 1683). Pope John Paul II confirmed the feast as an optional memorial on 12 September.<\/p>\n<h3>15 September: Our Lady of Sorrows<\/h3>\n<p>On 15 September, the day after the celebration of the Exaltation of the Cross, the feast of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/saints-and-blessed\/the-cult-of-our-lady-of-sorrows\/\"><strong>Our Lady of Sorrows<\/strong><\/a>, Mater Dolorosa, is observed. Pope Pius X (1904-1914) established this date, recognising an ancient devotion dating back to the late 11th century, that of <strong>Our Lady of Sorrows and her Seven Sorrows<\/strong>. The sorrows of Mary are linked to various moments of her life recounted in the Gospels or passed down through popular devotion, associated with the Passion and death of Jesus, but not only. The sorrows of Mary were represented even then by swords piercing her heart.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5641 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/07\/our-lady-of-sorrow-joined-hands-resin-30-cm.jpg\" alt=\"our lady of sorrow joined hands resin 30 cm\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"Marian Feasts: Here Are All the Annual Celebrations Dedicated to Mary\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/couk\/?p=5620\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/statues\/resin-and-pvc-statues\/statue-our-lady-of-sorrows-hands-clasped-resin-30-cm\">Our Lady of Sorrow joined hands resin 30 cm<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">Statue of Our Lady of Sorrow joined hands made of resin.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>7 October: Our Lady of the Rosary<\/h3>\n<p>To celebrate the victory against the Turks at Lepanto on 7 October 1571, Pope Pius V instituted the feast of <strong>Our Lady of Victory<\/strong>, which his successor, Gregory XIII, renamed the <strong>Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary<\/strong>. According to legend, the pope, after recommending that all Christian forces recite the Rosary before the battle, was so confident in the intercession of the Madonna invoked through the Rosary to determine the outcome of the battle that he ordered the bells to be rung in victory even before it ended, so that all the way to Rome it was known that the Christians had won.<\/p>\n<h3>21 November: Presentation of Mary at the Temple<\/h3>\n<p>On 21 November, the <strong>Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary<\/strong> is celebrated, a devotional liturgical memorial that commemorates the presentation of Mary to the priests of the Temple in Jerusalem by her parents, Anne and Joachim. On the same day in 543, the Basilica of Saint Mary New in Jerusalem was consecrated.<\/p>\n<h3>8 December: Immaculate Conception<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Devotion to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/saints-and-blessed\/immaculate-virgin-mary-symbol-redemption\/\">Immaculate Madonna<\/a><\/strong> is one of the most widespread and beloved in popular tradition. It stems from the dogma of the Catholic Church that Mary, although conceived and born of mortal parents, was born pure, <strong>never touched by original sin<\/strong>, unlike all other men and women. Mary is said to be the only creature granted this special privilege in view of her mission to become the Mother of Jesus. On 8 December 1857, Pope Pius IX recognised the dogma and defined the modes of celebration. He blessed a monument in Rome located in Piazza Mignanelli, near the Spanish Steps, dedicated to the Immaculate Mary, and honoured it with a floral offering.
