Although there is no feast today in the Roman calendar honoring Mary in her virginity, there have been, in certain places, days set aside to honor her through this privilege: fourth Sunday in July — her Virginity; third Sunday in May — Queen of Virgins; first Sunday in August — Faithful Virgin, etc.1171 In the Roman Missal there is a feast of the Purity of the Blessed Virgin Mary assigned to October 16.1172 We pray in the Oration of that Mass:

"Grant, we beseech thee, Almighty and eternal God, that we who venerate with festive celebration the most perfect virginity of the most pure virgin Mary, may by her intercession attain to purity of mind and body."
