The Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary is celebrated on August 15. In this video we talk about the biblical evidence for the Assumption, the witness it gives to us, as well as the evidence for belief of the Assumption in the early Church.
Quotes from the Fathers of the Church
St. Epiphanius:
“Like the bodies of the saints, however, she has been held in honor for her character and understanding. And if I should say anything more in her praise, she is like Elijah, who was virgin from his mother’s womb, always remained so, and was taken up, but has not seen death.”
St. John Damascene:
“It was fitting that she, who had kept her virginity intact in childbirth, should keep her own body free from all corruption even after death. It was fitting that she, who had carried the Creator as a child at her breast, should dwell in the divine tabernacles”
