12 The Upcoming Feast of the Assumption of Virgin Mary This year's Feast of the Assumption of Virgin Mary will take place Sunday, 13th of August. The Feast of Assumption is also known as the day of Blessing of Grapes. Here is some information about the the Feast of the Assumption which you can also access on the Armenian Diocese website by clicking here. The Assumption of Saint Mary is a feast which commemorates the death and assumption of the Mother of our Lord, Jesus Christ to Heaven. In the Armenian Church there are other feasts of Saint Mary. It is celebrated in the Armenian Church on the nearest Sunday to 15th August, and is continued for nine days according to the arrangement of Catholicos Nerses Shnorhali (XII century). In the other ancient churches, the Feast of the Assumption of Saint Mary is always celebrated on the 15th August, whether it falls on a Sunday or on a weekday. The Feast of the Assumption of Saint Mary was established on the following tradition: Her death happened on the 15th August. However, the Apostle Bartholomew was absent at the time of her funeral. Upon his return to Jerusalem, he wanted to see her. When they opened the tomb and did not find her body there, this empty tomb caused them to think that her body was transmitted to Heaven, just as Jesus had formerly promised her. On the first day of this feast after the offering of the Mass, the grapes are blessed in the Armenian Church. Again the Catholicos, Nerses the Graceful, is the founder of this ceremony and prayer for the blessing of the grapes. The hymns of this feast day were written by the Catholicos, Nerses the Graceful. 12
