Assumption of Mary Procession

The Assumption of Mary into Heaven (Latin: Assumptio Beatae Mariae Virginis), is a Solemnity of the Roman Catholic Church held annually on 15th August. The belief in the bodily assumption of Mary into heaven has been attested since the 6th century and was elevated to dogma for the Roman Catholic Church in 1950 by Pope Pius XII in the Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus. In the Lauretan Litany, the invocation "You Queen, taken up to heaven" was added.
