🕊️ What Is the Assumption of Mary?

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary refers to the belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken up—body and soul—into Heaven at the end of her earthly life.

This means:

Her body did not undergo decay.

She was granted a special privilege by God in recognition of her role as the Mother of the Savior.

📜 Official Church Teaching

The Assumption was declared a dogma (a divinely revealed truth all Catholics must believe) on November 1, 1950, by Pope Pius XII in the apostolic constitution Munificentissimus Deus.

Exact wording from the dogma:

"...the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory."

Notably, the declaration does not specify whether Mary died before being assumed; the Church leaves that open.
