The Assumption of Mary into Heaven is a dogma of faith of the Roman Catholic Church, according to which Mary at the end of her earthly life went to Heaven in body and soul. According to the Eastern Orthodox tradition, the Assumption of Mary was preceded by a deep sleep (Dormitio Virginis): but the Dormition of Mary is not the object of dogma, while her glorification in body and soul is an integral part of the faith of the Catholic Church. -

The scene represents the Ascension of Christ, described in Luke 24,1 and Acts 1,1-9. The Ascension is the last episode of Jesus' earthly presence according to the two narratives. It describes his definitive ascension to heaven, from which he will return only at the end of time (Parousia).
