Dormition of the Virgin is one of the biggest Christian holidays. This holiday is remembrance of the death of the Virgin and, according to the Gospel tradition, the day when she came into the sky and "surrendered her spirit into the hands of the Savior". The lecture says that the Virgin lived 60 years, according to some sources 72, that she had survived her son and as a witness to many celebrated events, continued his mission. Dormition is celebrated on August 28th when ends the fast that lasted for 14 days.
On icons, this holiday is usually represented with a bed on which the Virgin lies with the crossed arms on the chest. On both sides of the bed are candlesticks with candles lit up. By the feet of Virgin Mary Saint Peter smokes with a censer, and by the head are St. Apostle Paul and St. Apostle John, and the rest of the Apostles are around. There are also great Christian writers of St. Dionysius Areopagite, Irothy and Timothy who hold the Gospel; there are also women who are crying. Above the Virgin Mary is the Christ who holds the soul of the Virgin in the form of a child, surrounded by Light and Angels.
