In 1950, Pius XII issued the
encyclicalMunificentissimus Deus and
infallibly defined the dogma of the
Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary into
Heaven. This doctrine teaches that Mary, the mother of
Jesus, was taken into Heaven body and soul after the end of her earthly life. This belief had been held by Catholic and Orthodox Christians since the early centuries of the Church (for example, by
St. Gregory of Tours), but it had never been formally defined as a dogma until 1950. This definition was the only occasion in the 20th century a pope
solemnly defined a
dogma ex cathedra, i.e. as Extraordinary (Solemn) Magisterium, which is connected to
Papal Infallibility. Pope Pius XII is reported to have witnessed
the "Miracle of the Sun" from the Vatican gardens on the day he made the pronouncement.[1].`
