The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Holy Day of Obligation) – “This solemnity celebrates the bodily taking up of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven at the end of her earthly life. This doctrine was dogmatically defined in 1950 by Pope Pius XII, but accounts of the assumption of Mary into heaven survive in apocryphal narratives from the third and fourth centuries.” Source: Living With Christ, August 2019
