Assumption of Mary

From Conservapedia

The Assumption of Mary is the dogma in the Catholic Church that Mary was "assumed" or taken up into Heaven both soul and body. Thus, in Catholic belief, there were two people who rose bodily into Heaven, Mary and Jesus. (In addition to Old Testament figures Enoch and Elijah, who were taken up into Heaven as well). In 1950, Pope Pius XII formally declared the Assumption of Mary to be dogma. Though only declared a dogma in modern times, the belief has existed in the Catholic Church for hundreds of years. The Assumption of Mary is celebrated with the Feast of the Assumption.

The Assumption of Mary is also a teaching in the Eastern Orthodox Church (Called the "Dormition" in that Church) and several other churches, but it is not part of those denominations' dogma.
