Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary




Today is the Feast Day of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Holy Day of Obligation, when Catholics and many other Christians all over the world celebrate Christ's taking His Mother, the Virgin Mary, at her death, into Heaven. There are several other instances in scripture when God has taken or assumed people into Heaven upon their death, and not allowed their bodies to go through earthly corruption and decay, like Elias, or Moses. 

Catholics all over the world, and especially in Catholic countries, celebrate this day with Mass, processions, cakes!, feasting and gathering together. 

Happy Feast Day!
