Spain, Spain
The Assumption of Mary in Spain, observed annually on August 15, is a religious holiday for Spain, commemorating Virgin Mary’s ascension into Heaven after her death. Sometimes called Assumption Day, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Dormition of the Most Holy Mother of God, and the Feast of the Assumption, this day is the most important religious day in the Catholic calendar for the Spanish. The Assumption of Mary is observed throughout Spain. It includes spiritual and secular customs like church services, parades, feasts, and more because it’s believed that Mother Mary’s body got transported into Heaven rather than going through the usual post-death process.
