Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception refers to the Catholic dogma that the Virgin Mary was preserved from original sin from the first moment of her conception, a unique grace enabling her to be the Mother of God, celebrated as a solemn feast on December 8th, where she's honored as the "New Eve" and patroness of many nations, including the Philippines and the USA, symbolizing purity and perfect holiness.
Key Aspects
Dogma: Defined by Pope Pius IX in 1854, it states Mary was kept free from original sin by God's grace, anticipating Jesus' merits, not by her own power.
Distinct from Virginal Conception: It's about Mary's conception in her mother (St. Anne)'s womb, not Jesus' conception by the Holy Spirit.
Symbolism: She is the "New Eve," undoing the disobedience of the first Eve, and a model of holiness, a "type of the Church".
Feast Day: December 8th, a major Holy Day of Obligation in the Catholic Church, celebrated during Advent.
Patronage: Patroness of the Philippines (since 1942) and the United States, with strong devotions and churches named in her honor (like the Malolos Cathedral).
Significance
For Humanity: Mary's sinlessness shows God's plan for redemption and provides a perfect example of responding to God's grace with humility and faith, says Catholic Answers.
Visuals: Often depicted with a crescent moon, stars, blue robe, and a serpent underfoot, signifying her purity and victory over sin, notes

From the Bishop of the Prelature of Infanta

Ang kulay p**a ay tanda ng dugong dumanak sa mga martyr, hindi lamang ng katolikong simbahan kundi ng ibat-ibang mananampalataya na inuusig. May tema ang Red Wednesday ngayong taon na Red Without Fear. Sabi ni ACN-Philippines executive director Monsignor Pedro Gerardo Santos, ang Red Wednesday at ang kulay p**a ay simbolo ng mga dugong dumanak mula sa mga martir.

“Ang kulay p**a ay tanda ng dugong dumanak sa mga martyr, hindi lamang ng katolikong simbahan kundi ng ibat-ibang mananampalataya na inuusig. So ang p**a ay tanda ng dugo na dumanak sa mga martyr at sa mga persecuted Christians sa buong mundo," aniya.

Pinangunahan ni Pasig Bishop Mylo Hubert Vergara ang Eucharistic celebration dito sa Immaculate Conception Cathedral kasabay ng pagpapa-ilaw ng p**a sa mismong simbahan.

Inalala din ni Bishop Vergara ang sinapit nina Fr. Chito Suganob at ng maraming mananampalataya sa nangyaring Marawi Seige noong 2017.

Christ the King" is a title for Jesus Christ that signifies his divine kingship over the universe, celebrated in the Christian feast of Christ the King Sunday. This title is based on the belief that Jesus is the divine King of the Universe who reigns through truth and love, a kingship established through both his creation of all things and his redemption of humanity. It is celebrated on the last Sunday of the liturgical year, and the feast was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925.
Meaning of the title
Divine Kingship: The title refers to Jesus's divine authority over all of creation, not a worldly kingdom. It signifies his absolute dominion, given to him by God.
Redemption: It also acknowledges that through his sacrifice, humanity has been redeemed, making them subjects of his reign and members of his kingdom.
Threefold office: In Christian theology, Jesus's kingship is one of the three offices of Christ, alongside his roles as prophet and priest.
Feast of Christ the King
Date: The feast is celebrated on the last Sunday of the liturgical year, which this year (2025) is November 23rd.
Purpose: It was established to remind Christians and the world of Jesus's sovereignty, especially in contrast to secular rulers.
Tradition: Many churches, including Roman Catholic, Lutheran, and Anglican, observe this feast with special services.
Example of devotion
St. José Sánchez del Río: A young martyr who, during the Cristero War, famously declared "¡Viva Cristo Rey!" ("Long live Christ the King!") as he was being executed, demonstrating a profound belief in Christ's eternal kingdom even in the face of death.
