Absolute Performance of the Dormition of the Virgin – Sound a.
You kept your virginity at birth, In the world you fell asleep, Theotokos, Moved to life, mother existing of life, and your embassies are redeemed, from the death of our souls.
Apolytikion of Apodosis of the Dormition in the First Tone
In birth, you preserved your virginity; in death, you did not abandon the world, The Theotokos. As mother of life, you departed to the source of life, delivering our souls from death by your intercessions.

The divine word preached instructively, spiritually and theologically documented by the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Thera, Amorgos and Islands etc. Amfilochius, which originally referred to the meaning of the Attribution of the great Despotic and Theotokos feasts, which goes back to the Jewish worship.
Subsequently, he focused his speech on the analysis of the Apolytyk of the Dormition of the Virgin, which he called "a short and concise Creed", as it refers to the Incarnation of the Lord from the Virgin and the abolition of death through the Resurrection of the Lord, Who turned him into sleep, in sleep, the awakening from which leads to the Kingdom of Heaven, a foretaste of which is participation in the Sacramental life of the Church!
He thanked again His Excellency Mr. Dorotheo II and wished everyone that the Virgin Mary would generously offer them her blessing, health, peace and prosperity!
