The Icon of the Dormition of the Theotokos

Our video about the icon and the Feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God; is a Great Feast of the Eastern Orthodox which commemorates the "falling asleep" or death of Mary the Theotokos ("Mother of God", literally translated as God-bearer), and her bodily resurrection before being taken up into heaven.
