"...what Christ did for us is of first importance, but we see in Our Lady the first-fruits of what is of first importance. She was the first to have received the grace of the redemption through her Immaculate Conception and her suffering with Christ at the foot of his Cross, and she was the first to receive the fullness of the grace of the Resurrection through her glorification in Heaven, which is what we are celebrating today...the Son of God, in the most literal sense, came into this world through Mary, through her very body. He was Pure Spirit for all eternity, yet going through Mary, He entered this world as man. The Word became flesh, in and through Our Lady." Read more here.
The Assumption in classical art: Titian, Poussin, Rubens, Correggio, El Greco, etc.
