The Feast of Our Lady of Assumption - Patron Saint of France
It has been three years since I visited France. When I was in Paris, the Notre Dame Cathedral was undergoing refurbishment, and I couldn't enter the renowned church.
Our Lady of Assumption is the Patron Saint of France, and her feast is a major celebration, a public holiday in the country, and marked by processions, masses, and cultural festivities, reflecting the deep devotion to Mary among the French.
The feast also holds great importance to Catholics everywhere and is a tradition observed in many countries.
The Assumption of Our Lady is celebrated on August 15 and honours the belief that the Virgin Mary was assumed body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life. The Assumption highlights Mary's role in salvation history and her special position in the Church as the Mother of Christ.

Our Lady holds a special place in my heart. I have seen her visions, and she has come to me in my dreams. The first time I saw her vision was when I was six years old. I was standing before her statue at the grotto, and I saw a brilliant light illuminate the statue. The light was a dazzling, white light. She looked so beautiful and radiant, and I saw her smile. Then her light fell on me. "You are so beautiful," I said, and ran into the church. I was a little fearful, but the feeling soon disappeared. Since then, I have seen her many times in my dreams. She is the one I turn to when I am troubled - my one and only recourse for salvation.
