Our pilgrimage to the place where the Theotokos (Virgin Mary) reposed in the Lord.
On August 15th, Orthodox Christians commemorate the Dormition, or “falling asleep”, of the Virgin Mary. The imagery and narrative of the icon of the Dormition comes from Holy Tradition as there is no scriptural account of her death. The icon is one through which we see gathered into a single frame and presented in a manner transcending time, the physical and spiritual events occurring during the time of the Virgin Mary’s death.
