December 8, Feast of the Immaculate Conception, is the only one in Advent
Clarification:
The above information is true in the United States of America and some other countries. However, each country decides which holy days are to be of obligation. Many countries do not observe the Immaculate Conception as a day of obligation. In a few countries the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, is observed while the Immaculate Conception is not.
