Propers, hymns and liturgical hymn selection (order of worship) for the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary - Wednesday, August 15, 2012 - are now available for review and reference on the For the Faithful resource page.
During the Great Incensation of the church and faithful - i.e. at the start of the Divine Liturgy - we plan to chant Rejoice, O Purest Mother (Veselisja, Vo Čistot'i), a well-known hymn traditionally associated with this Great Feast of the Church. The melodic theme of this hymn will also be embraced throughout the celebration of this Divine Liturgy and next Sunday.
At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, herbs and flowers will be blessed as per our tradition.
NOTE: As highlighted in our church calendar and above, this is a Great Feast of the Universal Church. As such, it is a holy day of obligation (day of precept) for Byzantine-Ruthenian Catholics in the United States.
Hope to see you for the Divine Liturgy this Wednesday evening (7PM)!
