Today, August 28, Bulgarians in many parts of the country celebrate the Assumption of the Theotokos in the old style calendar along with almost the entire Orthodox world.
The holiday is held in special honor in Bulgaria as evidenced by numerous assemblies, where families gather to honor the Great Mother of God, as they call her, to give alms for health and prosperity, through sacrifices consecrated for the holiday.
For Orthodoxy, the Mother of God is the Queen of Heaven, an intercessor for the human race, who extends her heavenly protection. It helps believers resist evil, discern the truth, preserve moral values, and also hope in the greatest difficulties and trials.
