On Monday, August 15th, St. George celebrated 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. 

The Troparion for this feast: In giving birth you preserved your virginity, / In falling asleep you did not forsake the world, O Theotokos. / You were translated to life, O Mother of Life, / And by your prayers, you deliver our souls from death. 

After Divine Liturgy, there was the blessing of fragrant herbs and flowers, which is customary on this feast.  Below are a few photos to view.
