A mosaic of the Immaculate Conception from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary in glory. The Catholic belief that Mary was free from original sin from the moment of her existence was promulgated by Pope Pius IX in 1854. This year the feast of the Immaculate Conception, Dec. 8, marks the 150th anniversary of the dogma. CNS photo courtesy Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
