In other news, I've been reading the interesting post: Kalormiros on the Six Days of Creation.

З празником! (Dormition)

carrying his torch, in spirit leap for joy;
and let the order of the angelic powers
celebrate and honor the holy feast of the Mother of God,
and let them cry:
Rejoice! Pure and all-blessed Ever-Virgin.
