Novena of the Immaculate Conception. Feast Day December 8. Eighth Day. The Mother of Jesus was standing by the Cross. Mary didn’t come from a rich or fancy family. She was just a regular girl, and she didn’t have many nice things. However, she was exceptional because she was the mother of Jesus, who is the Son of God. Even though she was holy, she still had to face sad and hard moments. The story reminds us how sad it was when Jesus was hurt, was taken to court, and finally died on the cross. Ma
