The Feast of Dormition, which refers to the death and assumption of the Virgin Mary, is celebrated in various parts of the world, but with different terminologies. In Eastern Orthodox churches, the event is known as the Dormition of the Theotokos, while in Catholic churches, it is referred to as the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The term Dormition has its roots in the Latin word "dormire," which means "to sleep," indicating the peaceful death of Mary. The Greek Orthodox churches call the feast Koimisis, meaning to "fall asleep." In Egypt, it is called El-Masihat El-Mariam, which translates to the "Passion of Mary." Regardless of the name, the Feast of Dormition remains an important celebration in the Christian calendar.
