Text: August 15 - Dormition of the Mother of God - Seeing the Dormition . . .
Instead of ‘Indeed, it is fitting’:
Seeing the Dormition of the Most Pure One,*
the angels were filled with awe at how the Virgin went from earth to heaven.*
In you, O pure Virgin,*
the laws of nature were overcome:*
in giving birth you remained a virgin,*
and in your death, heralded life.*
You remained a virgin after giving birth* and remained alive after death,*
always saving your descendants,*
O Mother of God.
