| | Assumption of Mary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Feast of the Assumption is celebrated on August 15, the same calendar day as the Eastern Orthodox Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos. | | | The Dormition should not be confused with the Assumption: Eastern Orthodox believe that Mary died, and there is a non-dogmatic tradition that her dead body was later assumed into heaven as a foretaste of the general resurrection. | | | The Assumption is important to many Catholics as the Virgin Mary's heavenly birthday (the day that Mary was received into heaven). |
