Thursday, August 15 is one of the most important feast days of the year, the Feast Day of St. Mary the Virgin. “Later devotion has claimed many things for Mary which cannot be proved from Holy Scripture. What we can believe is that one who stood in so intimate a relationship with the incarnate Son of God on Earth must, of all the human race, have a place of highest honor in the eternal life of God" – Lesser Feasts and Fasts, 2003
