The Catholic Church teaches as dogma that the Virgin Mary "having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory."[1] This doctrine was dogmatically defined by Pope Pius XII on November 1, 1950, in his Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus by exercising papal infallibility. We have no eye witness accounts to the event, all that has come down to us is that shortly after her dormition her tomb was found empty.
The bible says there were 200 believers who witnessed jesus ascension to heaven.
The disciples witnessed Jesus' sinlessness, His miracle's, His compassion, His love for the Father in heaven and His love of human beings. Some witnessed His death on the cross and His burial and all witnessed His life after rising from the dead, and they witnessed His ascension into heaven.
Ascension Thursday happens in May and it's the celebration of Mary going to heaven body and soul.
Night of Ascension
It is called the Ascension of Jesus. After his resurrection, Jesus was taken up to heaven in the presence of his disciples.
There is no such thing as the Ascension of Mary, only God, Himself, in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, ever ascended into heaven. Our Blessed Lady is only a creature, and incapable of such a thing. The Assumption of Mary is on the 15 of August each year. Ascension and Assumption are very different things.
