The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary


Titian's Assumption of the Virgin

"By the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own authority, we pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that 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". -Pope Pius XII, Munificentissimus Deus, 44
