The Feast of the Assumption reminds believers of the completion of the Virgin Mary\u2019s earthly life and her transition to eternal life. For Christians, this is not a day of mourning but a celebration of hope and joy, testifying to Christ\u2019s victory over death and the Mother of God\u2019s unceasing prayerful intercession for the whole world.<\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
