The Dormition Fast is observed in preparation for the
great feast of the Dormition (Assumption) of the
ever-Virgin Mother of God. We celebrate her
participation, body and soul, in the heavenly glory of
her Son, the Giver of Life. In the Eparchy of Van
Nuys, the Dormition Fast is minimally observed by
fasting from meat on Wednesdays and Fridays from
August 1 to August 14, the Vigil of the Dormition of
the Mother of God. |
