Assumption Day
Assumption Day celebrates the Catholic belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken body and soul into heavenly glory at the end of her earthly life. The doctrine was defined as dogma by Pope Pius XII on 1 November 1950 in the apostolic constitution Munificentissimus Deus, although the feast and the belief are much older. It is one of the major Marian feasts and a holy day of obligation in many Catholic countries.
In Italy the holiday is Ferragosto, the heart of the summer break, when cities empty and families head to the seaside or the mountains. In France, Spain, Poland, Austria, Croatia, Portugal and elsewhere there are church services and processions, and in Poland and several other countries herbs and flowers are blessed on the day; the Polish feast is known as Matki Boskiej Zielnej, Our Lady of the Herbs. The date falls in the middle of the summer holiday season, which gives it a social as well as a religious role.
