2. Reading Text (Adapted for Intermediate Level)

The Dormition of the Virgin Mary

The Dormition of the Virgin Mary is a Christian tradition that celebrates the "falling asleep" or death of Mary, the mother of Jesus. The word Dormition comes from the Latin word dormire, which means to sleep.

According to ancient Christian belief, Mary did not suffer like other people when she died. Instead, she peacefully fell asleep and was taken to heaven. In the Catholic Church, this event is called the Assumption of Mary, which means that her body and soul were taken up to heaven.

This celebration is very important in both the Orthodox and Catholic churches. It is celebrated every year on August 15th. In many countries, this day is a national holiday. People attend church services, pray, and sometimes take part in processions or festivals.

In Orthodox countries like Greece, Romania, and Russia, the Dormition is one of the biggest religious celebrations of the year. In Catholic countries like Italy, Spain, and France, it is called the Feast of the Assumption.

For many believers, this day is a time to honor Mary's life and to remember her faith, love, and humility.
