Honoring Mary's Assumption into Heaven is something that dates back a long way in the
history of Christianity. It is this day that we specially remember when Our lady was taken up to heaven with body and soul.
It is traditional to bless fruits and herbs on this day. In Medevial times, devotion to Mary was so strong in
England that the country was known as 'Mary's dowry'.
St JOhn Damascane, writing in 749, stated : ' St Juvenal the bishop of Jerusalem made known to emperor to possess the body of Mother of God, that Mary died in the presence of the apostles, but the tomb, when opened at the request of St Thomas, was found empty: the apostles concluded that her body was taken upto heaven'' (feast & seasons ).
