Happy feast of the Assumption of Our Lady! We will be closed on August 15th to observe this holy day of obligation.
This majestic statue located behind the main altar of the Cathedral of Chartres in France, helps us meditate on the beauty of the mystery of Our Lady's Assumption into heaven.
Since the 9th century, Chartres Cathedral has housed a most precious relic: the Veil of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Every year on August 15th, Our Lady's Veil is carried in a grand procession through the streets of Chartres.
