Actually, the Immaculate Conception is Mary's conception, not the conception of Jesus. The Immaculate Conception is, I believe, celebrated on August 15th. The conception of Christ is celebrated on March 25th. Interesting note, March 25th used to be New Years and it is also the day that Frodo Baggins saved Middle Earth by destroying the ring of power.
Now that's a post that I can appreciate -- taking this whole debate and tying it in to Lord of the Rings! 8-) Carry on.
