Next Thursday is the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is one of the chief feasts of the Blessed Virgin in the year, and it has been made so by the spontaneous devotion of. Catholics all over the world for many centuries

The feast has been observed for at least fifteen hundred. years, and it was colebrated in Jerusalem and the Eastern churches before it spread to the West. In all probability the date marks the anniversary of the dedication of some church in honour of the Assumption rather than the day assigned by tra- dition to the event
