How many little holidays celebrating the Virgin Mary (lovely lady I admit) do Catholics have?? It feels like there's one every other month or smth
Jan 1 - Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
Feb 2 - Feast of the Purification
Mar 25 - Solemnity of the Annunciation
May 31 - Feast of the Visitation
Aug 15 - Solemnity of the Assumption
Aug 22 - Memorial of the Queenship of Mary
Sep 8 - Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Sept 15 - Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows
Oct 7 - Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary
Nov 21 - Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Dec 8 - Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
There are also many optional memorials for specific titles and apparitions of Our Lady (for example, I celebrate the optional Memorial of Our Lady of Perpetual Help), so yeah, we're lousy with feasts for her!
There's also the Monday after Pentecost and 9 days after Corpus Christi dedicated to Mary Mother of the Church and the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary respectively
