Assumption of Mary

The Assumption of Mary is a Christian belief that, at the end of her earthly life, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken up into heaven, body and soul. This event is celebrated on August 15 each year, especially in the Catholic Church. The belief emphasizes Mary’s special role within Christianity and her closeness to God. While the Bible does not explicitly describe this event, it is derived from tradition and theological interpretation, reflecting the belief in her holiness and the honor bestowed upon her by God.
