It's not a mere coincidence that a day like this in honor of Mary falls on the same day of a holy day for Islam. Given that Mary is the enemy of the serpent, it makes sense. It's also no mere coincidence that probably the most profound and "apocalyptic" apparition of Mary occurred at a place called "Fatima" (so named for the daughter of Mohammad).
