On Sunday, August 14, 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.

Grapes” service will follow. A picnic featuring Armenian music and food will be
