The Feast of the Dormition is a significant Christian celebration observed on August 15th. It commemorates the belief that the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, was taken up to heaven at the end of her earthly life. This event is also known as the Assumption in some Christian traditions. The feast is celebrated in various ways, including special church services, processions, and the singing of hymns. Many believers honor Mary by reflecting on her role in the Christian faith and her virtues, such as humility and devotion. The Dormition is particularly important in the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic traditions.
