Dormition of the Theotokos (One of our 12 Great Feasts)
- Dormition of the Theotokos. It is considered to be our Lady's greatest Feast. The commemoration of her death and the Assumption of her body and soul into heaven was the occasion of special devotion in very early times. In Ephesus it was observed even in the first century. In A.D. 1950 Pope Pius XII defined and promulgated the Assumption of the Theotokos to be a dogma of the Church.
