What is the Assumption?

"The Assumption (August 15th) refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary being assumed (by the power of God) — body and soul — into heaven at the end of her earthly life...As evidenced by the writings of many early Church fathers, Christians have believed for more than a millennium that the Blessed Virgin was assumed into heaven...Like all beliefs about Mary, they illuminate our most treasured beliefs about her Son. The Assumption illustrates to us the truth about Christ’s promise of eternal life and the resurrection of the faithful."
