The Assumption of the Virgin Mary is the largest Mother of God feast of the Christian Church and is celebrated annually on August 15. Not only the death and burial of the Virgin Mary is honored, but also Her resurrection and metastasis to the heaven. A Lord’s Angel informed the Virgin Mary three days before about her imminent death and She gladly accepted this announcement, as she would meet her only Son again. Immediately, she went to the Mount of Olives to pray, and then divided all her possessions into two widowed neighbors. On the day of her Assumption, a cloud miraculously brought to her all the Apostles, who were preaching the Word of God in every corner of the earth. Her end came (She slept) peacefully in the house of the Evangelist John, where she lived. Her relic was transported to Gethsemane, where she was buried accompanied by the Apostles.
