The Beloved: Week of August 16th
Dormition of the Theotokos
Sing, O people! Sing the praises of the Mother of our God; for today she delivers her soul, full of light, into the hands of Him Who became incarnate of her without seed. And she entreats Him without ceasing to grant the earth peace and great mercy. (Litya, Tone 5)
