The Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos, also known as St. Mary Major, is celebrated on August 15. This event marks the transition of the Virgin Mary to heaven, where she is believed to intercede for humanity. According to tradition, the Archangel Gabriel announced her passing, assuring her that death would not hold sway over her. Apostles were miraculously gathered to witness her departure, and her body was laid to rest in the Gethsemane tomb. After three days, she was assumed into heaven, symbolizing eternal life and divine grace.
