The Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos

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.
