Our Lady Assumed into Heaven.
"Christ ascended into heaven and prepared an everlasting dwelling-place for his most chaste mother. This is the sublime festival, surpassing that of any saint, on which she who is glorious and blessed entered the heavenly nuptial hall, acclaimed by the ranks of the heavenly court. There she dwells, ever-loving, never forgetful of those who remember her." – Magnificat antiphon in the Dominican rite. My sermon for the feast of the Assumption can be read here. Painted dome of the Baltimore Basilica, which is the National Shrine of the Assumption.
