On Monday, August 15th, St. George will celebrate Divine Liturgy for the great feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos. This feast commemorates the repose (dormition) or "falling-asleep" of the Virgin Mary.
In the Orthodox Church it is common practice to bless all fragrant herbs or flowers on this feast. Please bring in fragrant herbs or flowers, which will be blessed after Divine Liturgy.
