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 a dogma by Pope Pius XII on 1 November 1950, though the feast itself 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 the Catholic Church, the feast is also called the Dormition in some traditions, and the date is a holy day of obligation in many countries.
In Italy the holiday is known as Ferragosto, and it is the heart of the summer break, when cities empty and families go to the seaside or the mountains. In France, Spain, Poland, Austria, Croatia, Portugal and other countries, church services, processions and the blessing of herbs and flowers mark the day, and in Poland the feast is also known as the Feast of Our Lady of the Herbs. The holiday also fills the middle of the summer holiday season, which gives it an unusual role as a social rather than purely religious occasion in countries like Italy and France.
