Food, drink and fun I can understand, but I'm not sure how the face painting for the children and the foam party for everyone, quite fits in with this. (see this months blog last year for photos of what goes on....)
Wikipedia has this to say about it:
| Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Our Lady of the Assumption | |||
|---|---|---|---|

| Assumption of Mary, or Assumption of the Virgin is the belief, according to tradition and theology of the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church , that body and soul of the Virgin Mary was taken to heaven after the end of his days in the land. This transfer is called Assumptio Beatæ Mariæ Virginis (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary) by Roman Catholics, whose doctrine was defined as dogma (truth that can not be doubted) by Pope Pius XII on November 1 of 1950 . The Catholic Church celebrates the feast in honor of the Virgin Mary in the East since the sixth century and in Rome from the seventh century .. The feast is celebrated on August 15 . No mention of food, drink and general fun though! | |||
