Bible: Rev 11:19, 12:1-6, 10; Ps 45; 1 Cor 15:20-27; Luke 1:39-56 (although the assumption is not explicitly found in the Bible, the passages are used at Mass on the feast day) Catholic Feast Day: August 15 Mary’s assumption was declared a dogma for Catholics in 1950 by Pope Pius XII although there was wide understanding and support of the belief since the early Church. For example, a Latin document named "Transitus Mariae," (meaning "The Crossing Over of Mary") is an extra-biblical account that dates back either the second and third centuries. The Catholic Tradition of the Assumption is that Mary, at the end of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into Heaven. The phrase “at the end of her earthly life” can be believed in one of two ways–either when she died or when she fell asleep (sometimes called “dormition”).
“Assumption Orbiter” in Apostolic Age Land replaces Astro Orbiter. At the center of the ride (where a golden sphere is located right now) is Mary lying on the ground. Going up the tower are parts of a mobile (stars, planets, etc.) that give the impression that guests are making their way up to Heaven. When it is their time to ride, guests board one of 12 capsules. Each of the capsules (which can hold a maximum of 2 guests) is supported by an angel who follows the up-down direction of the rider’s controls. The ride takes 90 seconds.
