| | 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). |

| | Customs of the Post-Pentecost Season |
| | Most likely the oldest and certainly the highest annual feast day of Mary, the Feast of the Assumption is held in both east and west as a day of great solemnity. | | | Though the mystery of the Holy Trinity is the greatest dogma of the Christian faith and the Feast of the Holy Trinity one of the beloved annual feasts of Christianity, there are not many customs or rituals quintessentially associated with this day. | | | In western Europe, for example, fields would often be blessed by the parish priest, while in America and Latin countries Assumption Day is traditionally the occasion for blessing the fishing fleets of coastal towns. |

| | On the feast day of the Assumption, while explaining the prophet's words: "I will glorify the place of my feet,"27 he stated it as certain that the divine Redeemer had bedecked with supreme glory his most beloved Mother from whom he had received human flesh. | | | So it was that the Feast of the Assumption was elevated from the rank which it had occupied from the beginning among the other Marian feasts to be classed among the more solemn celebrations of the entire liturgical cycle. | | | These studies and investigations have brought out into even clearer light the fact that the dogma of the Virgin Mary's Assumption into heaven is contained in the deposit of Christian faith entrusted to the Church. |
