Marian devotion among Catholic and Orthodox Christians is particularly nourished by festivals in the name of the liturgical year that celebrate the Virgin Mary. In the Catholic Church, this can take the form of solemnities, feast days or memorials (discover the difference between these terms). All are privileged times to pray to the mother of Christ, and place ourselves under her protection. Discover the great Marian feasts as well as the months and days of the year dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

Optional remembrances include:
The month of May is traditionally dedicated to Mary. During this spring month, when life is fully manifested through nature and the beauty of creation is brilliant, we are invited to make prayers of intercession to the Virgin Mary. For centuries, the mother of Jesus has been associated with the beauty of flowers, especially roses.
We can especially pray to our Heavenly Mother, during the month of May, by including a Hail Mary, a Magnificat or a Salve Regina in our daily prayer or by participating in a month of prayer with Mary.

One day of the week is particularly dedicated to the Virgin Mary: Saturday. Saint Thomas Aquinas provides an explanation: "And as the resurrection of Christ was on a Sunday, it is on this day that we solemnize, like the Jews, the Sabbath, because of the first creation. (...) however we keep the Sabbath in honor of the glorious Virgin, for on that day of the death of Christ, her faith remained whole "
Let us invoke her on this day!
