Relatively recent innovation, isn’t it? Pius XII? I think before that you folks believed as we did. That said, the belief in the assumption is all but universal among the Orthodox. We’re just not quick to dogmatise much.

Yes, Pius XII in 1950, but it was widely observed from at least the 6th Century.

The Assumption is my favorite Marian feast.
