Una de las figuras centrales durante el tiempo de Adviento y de Navidad es, por supuesto, la Santísima Virgen María. Celebramos a María en la Liturgia de la Misa en las fiestas de la Inmaculada Concepción y de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe.

One of the central figures during the seasons of Advent and Christmas is, of course, the Blessed Virgin Mary. We celebrate Mary in the liturgy with the feasts of the Immaculate Conception and Our Lady of Guadalupe. The Gospel of Luke calls our attention to the visitation of our Blessed Mother to her cousin Elizabeth and the Christmas readings highlight Mary's central role as the mother of our savior.
