Today's spectacle of birthdays includes, on Earth, that of Napoleon Bonaparte; and in some Christian versions of Heaven, Mary: for today is Assumption Day, Mary's "Heavenly Birthday" -- I'm not making this up.
Born Napoleone di Buonaparte, this dude became, as depicted here, Napoléon Bonaparte, Empereur des Français.
Assumptio Beatae Mariae Virginis; Asunción de María; L'Assomption Marie; Dormition of the Mother of God; Успение Пресвятия Богородици; Κοίμησις Θεοτόκου, Koímēsis Theotokos.
In this wildly surreal depiction, Mary is assumed "up" to Heaven, flying though the air -- apparently with assists from various celestial beings.

I want two birthdays. :( But I'm not sure I want to die for it.
