The feast of the Assumption of Mary is celebrated with a traditional mountain mass every year on August 15 at this chapel. August 15th is also the day of the Winklmoos alpine farmers. The chapel was completely renovated in the mid-1960s and re-covered with a shingle roof in 1977.

The patronage "Assumption of Mary" of this church refers to one of the many commemorative days or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Mary. It goes back to the feast of their physical acceptance into heaven, which the Church celebrates annually on August 15th.
In many rural areas it is common for the people to collect herbal bundles (called "Kruggweusch" in the Rhenish dialect) on this day and bless them in the festival service.
