The Feast of the Dormition of Our Most Holy Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary is celebrated on August 15 each year. The Feast commemorates the repose (dormition and in the Greek kimisis) or "falling-asleep" of the Mother of Jesus Christ, our Lord. The Feast also commemorates the translation or assumption into heaven of the body of the Theotokos.
Services for the Dormition will be Saturday, August 14, 5:00pm for Great Vespers and Sunday, August 15, 8:15 & 9:30am for Matins & Divine Liturgy. Followed by our usual fabulous Sunday lunch.
