nine-day feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos, the Afterfeast of the Dormition of the Theotokos


Explanation:
Δεν χρησιμοποιούμε στην Ορθόδοξη εκκλησία όρους των Λατίνων.
Και ας μην εμπιστευόμαστε τουριστικές σελίδες.
Ακόμα και την Κοίμηση δεν τη λέμε Assumption, αλλά Dormition.

1 hr
  -> Σωστά το λέει. Η απόδοση είναι η ένατη ημέρα. Ευχαριστώ.

agree  Nadia-Anastasia Fahmi: Πολύ σωστά τα λες με βάση το Ορθόδοξο δόγμα. Εγώ πήγα βάσει του Καθολικού. Μάκαρι να ξανανοίξει την ερώτηση η Γεωργία να σου δώσει την απάντηση. Εγώ, ωστόσο, τη βάζω στο γλωσσάρι να υπάρχει για όλους. Καλή Κυριακή!
4 hrs
  -> Καλημέρα. Αφού μπήκε στο γλωσσάρι, τα υπόλοιπα είναι περιττά.
