Feast of the Assumption (view source)
Revision as of 05:33, September 27, 2019
, 05:33, September 27, 2019boldface emphasis of "Assumption of Mary" as synonymous with the topic of this article since both the tradition of the event and the name of the Feast have the same title
In accordance with the beliefs of the [[Catholic Church]], the '''Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary''' (March 25 and August 15) celebrates [[Mary]]'s bodily passage into [[Heaven]], known as the [[Assumption of Mary]]. This Feast is a public holiday in many countries. Among [[Eastern Orthodox]] Christians, the term used is the "Dormition" of Mary, i.e. the falling asleep of the Virgin. In the [[Anglican]] churches, the day (August 15) is commemmorated as the Feast of St. Mary the Virgin. The concept of Mary's physical body having been taken by God to Heaven is not an Anglican doctrine, although it has been an obligatory belief for Catholics since a Papal decree in 1950.
