∙ 13y ago
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the belief that after she died, or was very near death, she was lifted body and soul into Heaven by Our Lord Jesus Christ. This was merited by the fact that she was the Mother of God, Immaculately Conceived, and the perfect example of a human being (by the Grace of God).
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
"Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death." The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians" (CCC 966)
As a side-note the Feast of the Assumption is August 15th (A Sunday, in the year 2010).
