ASSUMPTION OF MARY

Quote for Today - August 15, 2013

"The grave and death could not hold the Mother of God. She is unceasing in prayers. She is our strong hope by her protection. She is the Mother of Life. The One who lived within the ever Virgin has taken her away into life."

Byzantine Menaea, Kontakion for the Feast, (Dated from around the 6th century.)

Painting: Assumption of Mary in the Bayern, Reischenbach Church, by Johnan Gebhard - c. 1750
