They call the Holy Virgin Mother of true Life, who saves human souls from death with her prayers. She is the most loved and the most glorified after God, to whom everyone turns.
The Orthodox Church honors her on August 15, the day of her Assumption, when the Son of God born of her takes her soul to the Heavenly Kingdom. Although she passed from a quiet sleep to eternal life, the Mother of God remained tireless in her prayers for the salvation of humanity. Already on the same day, many miracles and signs happened - the sick were healed, the blind were given their sight only with her shroud. And as the Savior Himself rose with glory on the third day, so He also resurrected His Mother. In memory of this great event, the apostles established the Christian feast the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
