Hey Deborah. Since having a "festival" (it's actually a holy day, not a festival) of the Immaculate Conception is worship of Mary, does that mean President's Day is a worship of all presidents of the United States, especially of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln? (It must, since there are graven images of those two around).

Is Veterans Day a worship of all veterans? I guess I worshiped Shain on November 11 of this year.

Is Columbus Day a worship of Christopher Columbus? They have a big parade on that day in Chicago every year. Guess they're all worshiping, eh?

Is St. Patrick's Day a worship of St. Patrick? You'd probably say yes, since it's an Irish - predominantly Catholic - holiday. But I wouldn't call parades and hitting the bars worship. Would you?

But, oh yes, we're worshiping Mary on the feast of the Immaculate Conception. You believe we are, therefore we are.

Right?
