The Assumption
By Father John Banister Tabb (1845–1909)
 
          A feast in the Roman and Greek churches commemorating the resurrection of the Virgin and her miraculous ascent into Heaven. It is celebrated on August 15.

NOR Bethlehem nor Nazareth
  Apart from Mary’s care;
Nor heaven itself a home for Him
  Were not His mother there.
