On November 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII declared the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which the
Church celebrates every year on August 15. Simply
put, the dogma of the Assumption states that at the
end of her life, the Blessed Virgin Mary was taken,
body and soul, into Heaven. While this event isn’t
reflected in Sacred Scripture, it is clearly part of the
Church’s earliest observance. In the sixth century, St.
John Damascene wrote in one of his sermons, “Your
sacred and happy soul, as nature will have it, was
separated in death from your most blessed and immaculate
body, and although the body was duly interred,
it did not remain in the state of death, neither was it
dissolved by decay; your most pure and sinless body
was not left on earth, but you were transferred to your
heavenly throne.”
