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.”
