Chosen by God, Mary reverses the sin of Eve. Because of her obedience, God's salvation is made known to all nations.

Originating in the 7th century as the feast of the "Conception of Mary by St. Anne," Pope Clement XI, in his Bull, "Commissi Nobis," established this Solemnity for the entire Church in 1708.

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the patroness of the United States of America, Spain, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
