Feast of the Assumption of Mary
Mary is taken body and soul into heaven. One of the four Marian dogmas. A major feast day — in many folk traditions this is the day to gather and bless herbs, as any plant blessed on the Assumption carries double power through the year.
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun. — Revelation 12:1, KJV
