On Sunday, August 17, the Armenian Church will observe
the Feast of the Assumption of the Holy Mother-of-God, which commemorates how
St. Mary was taken up in body and soul, or “assumed,” into heaven. This was performed
by Christ many years after his Ascension as a loving tribute to the mother who
bore and raised him.
On this feast day, the Blessing of Grapes service takes
place immediately after the Divine Liturgy. The service is rich in symbolism
and emphasizes the important role of the Virgin Mary in the revelation of God.
