The Roman Catholic feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was celebrated on August 15th,and,my parents,who are devout Catholics,went to the local Catholic church on that date for a mass in honor of this feast because,in the Catholic church,it's a holy day of obligation.
I went on the dictionary part of Yahoo!Education and looked up the word assumption regarding this matter and this is one of the definitions:
Christianity - The taking up of the Virgin Mary into heaven in body and soul after her death.
So,if she died,then how is it possible that she has made appearances in places like Lourdes,Guadalupe,Fatima,and
Medugorge?
And those are the known normal apparitions of her. Some of the more wild & offbeat ones have been under bridges,on the sides of buildings,and even on bread!
