A Marian year is a year in which the Catholic Church celebrates and reveres Mary, the mother of Jesus, in a special way. Marian years are not on a set schedule, and can be declared by a bishop for his diocese or a national conference of bishops for a country. The first Marian year was from December 1953 to December 1954, to mark the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Pope Pius XII proclaimed the year, hoping that it would increase people's faith and devotion to Mary, and counteract atheistic ideologies. Dioceses around the world used religious, cultural, artistic, and social activities to stimulate religious life. Google AI
