Expectation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Feast of the Expectation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was a Catholic Feast that was originally celebrated in Spain, but started to be celebrated in other Catholic countries.[1]
The feast owes its origin to the bishops of the tenth Council of Toledo, in 656.[2] The accompanying of the expectant mother of Jesus became a prominent theme that spread throughout the Iberian Peninsula and Italy during the Middle Ages.[3] It is celebrated on December 18.
