Articles related to the religious and folkloric motif of someone entering Heaven, without actually dying. The event is depicted in narratives as exceptional, and usually is viewed as a sign of a deity's special recognition of the individual's piety.

In English, the action is variously rendered as "ascension", "assumption", or "translation".
