Blessed Feast of Dormition - 08/15/24
The Dormition (Falling Asleep) of the Theotokos is one of the Great Feasts of the Orthodox Church, celebrated on August 15. The Feast of the Dormition, which is also sometimes called the Assumption, commemorates the death, resurrection and glorification of Christ's mother.
On Wednesday evening, August 14, we celebrated vespers with litya for the Great Feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God. Divine Liturgy was held the next morning for the feast. We also have some photos here from Divine Liturgy on Sunday August 18, followed by a fabulous meal with leftovers from the parish picnic.
