Some ideas for celebrating the Assumption of Mary! 

• Attend a virtual or streamed Mass in celebration of the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We gather to show our love and affection for Our Blessed Mother and by doing so we bring glory to her Son.
• A Marian procession on the Assumption is a traditional practice in some cultures, perhaps try having a procession of your own!
• Gather the fruits of the Mary Garden you planted in the spring, or go to your local farmers' market.
• Eat! Have something special for a feast day! Your plans can be as simple as a picnic or cookout or as fancy as a formal sit down dinner.
