In the Church of St. Basil of Ostrog in Dobrota, today, on the great feast of the glorious and miraculous Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos – the Great Assumption, numerous believers received the Holy Sacrament of Communion.
The Holy Liturgy was presided over by Archpriest Nenad Kalem.
We remind you: "After the Crucifixion of the Lord, the Most Holy Theotokos continued to live with Saint John the Theologian. She spent most of her time until her death in Jerusalem. In her old age, she often prayed to the Lord at the place of the Ascension to take her to herself as soon as possible. The archangel Gabriel appeared to her and told her that she would repose in three days. She wished to see all the apostles, and they all miraculously gathered, except for the apostle Thomas. Then she reposed peacefully, without any suffering. The apostles buried her in the tomb of Saints Joachim and Anna, in the Garden of Gethsemane. On the third day, the apostle Thomas also arrived. When they opened the tomb to kiss the body of the Holy Most Pure, there was no body inside, only the shroud. It is assumed that the Most Holy Theotokos lived for more than 60 years."
