MARY: WAR WORK IN ENGLAND

THE FEAST OF ASSUMPTION of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which occurs next Thursday, is a Holiday of Obülgatlon - that is, a day on which Catholics are obliged to hear Mass and one al the most important feasts of this time of the year. It has a spe- cial importance in many parts of Chins because four days, are chosen in the year, one in each quarter, for special celebration in each district, and on account of the convenience of the time at which this feast occurs it is chosen as one of the four l

many places.

of

The feast itself commemorates, first, the death of Mary and second, a tradition that goes back in the Church to the time the Apostles, that the body of Mary after her death was taken to heaven. The date of the feast is of uncertain origin, for there is no defnite tradition of the day any more than of the date er the place of Mary's death.
