「聖母被昇天」(Assumption of Mary) is a Christian belief that the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken up into heaven, body and soul, at the end of her earthly life. This event is celebrated by many Christians, particularly within the Catholic Church, as a sign of her special role in salvation history. The feast of the Assumption is observed on August 15 each year. It emphasizes the honor and veneration of Mary and her unique relationship with God. The doctrine was officially declared by Pope Pius XII in 1950, affirming the belief in her assumption as a dogma of faith.
