Statue de l'Immaculée Conception - Statue of the Immaculate Conception - Grande-Vallée, Québec - Statues of Religious Figures on Waymarking.com

L'Immaculée Conception est la conception de la Vierge Marie « sans tache », c'est-à-dire exempte du péché originel. Il s'agit d'un dogme de l'Église catholique qui a été proclamé, le 8 décembre 1854 par le pape Pie IX par la bulle Ineffabilis Deus, mais cette croyance existait déjà chez les Pères de l'Église au ive siècle. Elle est souvent confondue avec la conception virginale de Jésus-Christ, c'est-à-dire le dogme de l'Incarnation, mais elle ne concerne que la conception de Marie elle-même.

In Christian theology, the Immaculate Conception is the conception of the Virgin Mary free from original sin by virtue of the merits of her son Jesus. The Catholic Church teaches that God acted upon Mary in the first moment of her conception, keeping her "immaculate".[1][2]

The Immaculate Conception is commonly confused with the virgin birth of Jesus, the latter being, rather, the doctrine of the Incarnation. While virtually all Christians believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, it is principally Roman Catholics, along with various other Christian denominations, who believe in the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception.
