On the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, I prayed to our beloved St Anthony for you, your personal intentions and peace in the world, and I will remember you again during the Holy Mass I will celebrate this morning. Peace and all good to you. 🤗

Today marks the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin ✨ This magnificent and imposing vision of the Virgin Mary’s body and soul being taken to heaven was the central panel of a large altarpiece, created by Matteo di Giovanni in 1474: https://t.co/tCkkeNQ1oC https://t.co/A4aa2USzKX

“When Mary left us here below, The Virgin’s Bower begins to blow.” - ‘Old English Calendar of the Flowers’. Clematis vitalba, the wild clematis or ‘traveller’s joy’, is also named the ‘Virgin’s Bower’ because it #flowers around 15th August, the Feast of the Assumption. #folklore https://t.co/GTtchSQZ7c

France has a national holiday today - Assumption day. It’s the day the Virgin Mary was transported to heaven. Interestingly, opinion is divided on whether she died, then rose to heaven. Or if she never died. Just went straight up. It’s triggered great art! By Titian and who else? https://t.co/v7A3FdWm7F

Happy Feriae Augusti! Augustus celebrated this holiday of rest on the 1st August but it was later moved to the 15th to coincide with the Catholic festival of the Assumption of Mary. #Ferragosto #Augustus https://t.co/dhMtKaBSl8

Today is the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, that great festival which with Easter and Christmas was one of the highlights of the late medieval liturgical year. Mary is carried bodily up to heaven in late 15c glass at East Harling, Norfolk. https://t.co/YVpgapIhd2 https://t.co/2iEELOywIk
