History and Significance: The Assumption of Mary, known in Slovenian as Marijino vnebovzetje, is a significant religious and cultural holiday in Slovenia. It commemorates the belief that the Virgin Mary was assumed body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life. This event is not mentioned in the Bible but has been a part of Christian tradition since ancient times. The doctrine was dogmatically defined by Pope Pius XII in 1950.
