Today's edition. "Site" He will tell you why the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin is so important for every Christian and what prayers can be offered on this day.

The feast of the Dormition is dedicated to the end of the earthly life of the Virgin and her transition to eternal life. It is believed that the Virgin Mary simply fell asleep to wake up in heaven three days later. The holiday is not sad, rather the opposite.
