Act for the Immaculate Conception of Mary (Catalan: Acte per a la Immaculada Conceptio de Maria) is the name of a dramatic play, in the Catalan language, likely performed in Bethlehem College in Barcelona on May 13, 1662, to celebrate a declaration of Pope Alexander VII in support of the idea of Immaculate Conception.[1]

The work argues for the absence of original sin in the one who was to become the Mother of God.

The author of the allegorical play is unknown, and only a fragment of 732 verses has been preserved. These demonstrate the ambitious nature of the play, both in literary and theological terms.[1]
