Dormition of Mary

Dormition of Mary
   The word "dormition" comes from Latin and means "falling asleep." Although the Assumption of Marywas proclaimed a dogma by Pope Pius XII on November 1, 1950, the dogmatic definition did not determine whether Mary died before her Assumption or whether she went to sleep in the Lord and was then assumed into heavenly glory; this second view, called the Dormition of Mary, is favored in the Eastern Church.
   See Assumption of Mary. (See CCC 966)
