The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
commemorates the death of Mary and
her bodily assumption into Heaven,
before her body could begin to decay
—a foretaste of our own bodily resurrection
at the end of time.
Because it signifies the Blessed Virgin's passing
into eternal life, it is the most important
of all Marian feasts and a holy day of obligation.
Assumption falls on Saturday, August 15, 2009.
