A public holiday in Liechtenstein, observed with church services and family gatherings. The Immaculate Conception : the doctrine that Mary was conceived without original sin : is particularly important in Liechtenstein's Catholic tradition. The day also marks the beginning of the Christmas season: the Christmas markets open in Vaduz, the streets are decorated with lights, and the bakeries begin selling Lebkuchen (gingerbread), Spitzbuben (jam-filled cookies), and Zimtsterne (cinnamon stars). The Kunstmuseum Vaduz holds its annual Christmas exhibition, and the stamp museum issues its annual Christmas stamp.
You find proboscis monkeys with their distinctive long noses, clouded leopards, and saltwater crocodiles native to Brunei's rainforests. You see that Bruneians commonly keep dogs, cats, and colorful freshwater aquarium fish as pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
