Celebrating the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos
On Sunday, August 15th, St. George celebrated the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos. This feast commemorates the repose (dormition) or "falling-asleep" of the Mother of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and also commemorates the assumption into heaven of the body of the Theotokos. After Divine Liturgy, there was the blessing of fragrant herbs and flowers, which is customary on this feast.
