Marian Feast Days
The months of May and October are traditionally "Marian months" for Roman Catholics, e.g., the daily Rosary is encouraged in October and in May Marian devotions take place in many regions.
The Roman Catholic Church celebrates three Marian solemnities which are also holy days of obligation in many countries during the liturgical year (in liturgical order):
• December 8 Feast of the Immaculate Conception
• January 1 Mary, Mother of God
• August 15 The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Other prominent Marian feast days and memorials in the General Roman Calendar of the Catholic Church are:
• December 12 Our Lady of Guadalupe
• February 11 Our Lady of Lourdes
• May 13 Our Lady of Fátima
• May 31 Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
• Immaculate Heart of Mary (Saturday after Sacred Heart of Jesus*)
• August 22 Queenship of Mary
• September 8 Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
*Sacred Heart of Jesus is 19 days after Pentecost.
