Maria Empfängnis

What's it about?

Maria Empfängnis, December 8th, is a public holiday in Austria and also an important church feast day. The celebration in honor of the Immaculate Conception of Mary is one of the oldest Marian festivals of the Catholic Church and has been observed with solemn services for centuries. In the parish community of Sankt Martin-Karlsbach, this special day is celebrated with a Holy Mass, to which all faithful are warmly invited. The holiday commemorates the belief that Mary was free from original sin from the very beginning, according to Catholic doctrine. The celebration offers an opportunity for reflection, communal prayer, and shared community in the spirit of Advent.
