The story behind Assumption Day

The Assumption of Mary, on August 15, celebrates the Catholic and Orthodox belief that Mary, mother of Jesus, was taken up body and soul into heaven at the end of her life; Orthodox churches call it the Dormition. It was defined as Catholic dogma in 1950, but has been celebrated since at least the sixth century.

It is a public holiday in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Greece and many other countries. In Italy it coincides with Ferragosto, the peak of the summer holidays, and towns across southern Europe hold processions and festivals.
