May I ask a question: as I knew, this Feast is (in English) called Dormition, and also Assumption. Though the meanings of these words are different, anyway these 2 words are used naming this Feast, and earlier I was more familiar with "Assumption". But I noticed that you & your parishiners use only "Dormition". I also new Easter more than Pascha, but I guessed that maybe Easter is more catholic, this is why the word "Pascha" is used in Orthodox Church. But what is the reason of using only the word "Dormition"? This is not maybe vital, but still I got interested... Thank you. Natalia Father, thank you!
