the Immaculate Conception  December 8
The Immaculate Conception of Mary is, according to Catholic doctrine, the conception of the Virgin Mary without any stain ("macula" in Latin) of Original Sin.[1] It is one of the four dogmas in Roman Catholic Mariology. Under this aspect Mary is sometimes called the Immaculata (the Immaculate One), particularly in artistic contexts.

The doctrine states that, from the first moment of her existence, Mary was preserved by God from the Original Sin and filled with sanctifying grace that would normally come with baptism after birth.

and Our Lady of Guadalupe December 12

He said:

Had a great time last Sunday as a participant in a low-key Team Time Trial race! Thanks ANZA Cycling (Australia New Zealand Assoc) and Larry for the great photos of the morning.

Good rule of thumb: Join a cycling group that has a brew pub as it's main sponsor! Brewerkz - the best IPA in Singapore"
