Finance | The transfer of primary liability for payment of an existing mortgage (or deed of trust) from the seller to the buyer of a property. The seller remains secondarily liable unless specifically released by the lender. (references) |
Literature | Assumption (Feast of the). The 15th of August, so called in honour of the Virgin Mary, who (according to the Roman and Greek Churches) was taken to heaven that day (A.D. 45), in her corporeal form, being at the time seventy-five years of age. This seems very improbable, if Christ was crucified A.D. 33. It would make Mary survive her son twelve years, and to have been thirty years old at his birth instead of about fifteen.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Blessed Virgin Mary's body went to Heaven along with her soul after her death, according to an ancient and widely accepted tradition of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. Having been a tradition for centuries, this doctrine was formally dogmatically defined by Pope Pius XII in 1950.
The ascension of Mary's body into heaven is called the Assumption of Mary. Both churches commemorate the event on August 15; in the Roman Catholic Church, it is known as the Feast of the Assumption, while in the Eastern Orthodox Church it is known as the Feast of the Dormition (which means "falling asleep"). In Greek Orthodoxy one speaks of the Dormition of the Theotokos.
