It’s a lot to keep straight…is not the “December 8 – Immaculate Conception of Mary (Christian)” a Catholic holiday?

Well, Catholics are Christians . . . but you’re right, that is a holiday only celebrated (as far as I know) in the Roman Catholic Church because the doctrine of Mary’s Immaculate Conception is unique to the RC Church. I should have specified “Christian-Catholic” like I did on the other Roman Catholic holidays. Thanks for catching that – and Happy Holidays!
