Immaculate Heart of Mary
A celebration of the purity and love of the Mother of God
The roots of the “Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary” are closely connected to the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The feast in honor of Mary is celebrated on the Saturday following the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
One of the first promoters of the devotion was John Eudes (1601–1680), a French founder of several religious congregations. A key moment came in 1942, when Pope Pius XII consecrated all humanity to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. A few years later, the feast was first fixed on August 22, before being moved to its current date in the liturgical calendar.
Iconography of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
The iconography is very similar to that of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In the center of Mary's chest is a heart surrounded by white roses, symbolizing her purity. The flames above the heart represent the burning love of the Mother of God for all humanity. Mary points to her heart with her right hand and opens her left hand as a sign of her boundless charity.
