“The Dormition of the Mother of God is the Pascha of the Theotokos”

Archpriest Andrei Tkachev

I would like that people would understand who they are fasting for. The Dormition of the Mother of God is the Pascha of the Theotokos. And the fast is a preparation for the Pascha of the Theotokos. This is the feast of her mortal sleep and her resurrection from the dead by her Son. Because the Orthodox love the Most Holy Theotokos so much, we would like to ask for the sake of the Mothers of God’s love for us and our love for her that those who are going to fast for these fourteen days might fast in remembrance of the Most Holy and Most Pure and Blessed Virgin Mary, and bring our labors according to our strength as a sacrifice for her.

“How wonderful it is if for the sake of the Mother of God one renounces at least one sinful habit!”
