Today the Orthodox Church world wide is celebrating The Dormition of the Theotokos.The Ecclesiastic year begins and ends with a Feast in honor of the Mother of our Lord. Father Paul shares with us a threefold significance of this Feast. First death is merely a falling asleep. Secondly how important the Theotokos is to Jesus. Thirdly while the Theotokos is the mother of our Redeemer and Savior she is also Mother of us who are being redeemed and saved.
