Every year, on August 15th, Christian people commemorate the death of the blessed virgin Mary. Ortodox Christian celebrate the Assumption of Mary on August 28. The Assumption is important to many Christians, Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans and Anglicans.
I noticed some blogging friends, such as Dark Miryam and Veronica Lee , have enjoyed my pictures of Italy, which I posted in my previous post. Maybe, some of them have already visited my country.
The castle in the picture above was partly destroyed during World War II.
I took all the six pictures above while I was walking across Itri, a small city in Central Italy, not far from the Gulf of Gaeta.
As above mentioned, today is public holiday here in Italy. Fireworks will be set on the night. I hope the weather will not be cloudy.
Happy feast of the Assumption!
Hello, Giorgio! I also like your photos of Italy.
ReplyDeleteAugust 28 in the Orthodox calendar is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is one of the main twelfth holidays dedicated to the transition of the Virgin Mary from the earthly world to the heavenly world. The most important event in the life of Christians is preceded by the Dormition Fast.
Thank you for such interesting info, Irina!
DeleteΣυγνώμη που επεμβαίνω αλλά μια διευκρίνηση
DeleteΣτην Ελλάδα εορτάζεται κάθε χρόνο στις 15 Αυγούστου με το Νέο Ημερολόγιο και στις 28 Αυγούστου με το Παλαιό (Παλαιοημερολογίτες). προφανώς στη Ρωσία ακολουθούν το παλαιό ημερολόγιο
Το αναφέρω έτσι απλά
...I love the architecture!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you enjoyed the pictures!
DeleteFoto bellissime,buon ferragosto!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Olga! Have a nice day!
DeleteΓεια σου Γιωργο, μια διόρθωση η Κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου αποτελεί μία από τις μεγαλύτερες γιορτές της Χριστιανοσύνης και εορτάζεται και απο τους ορθοδοξους κάθε καλοκαίρι στις 15 Αυγούστου
ReplyDeleteοχι στις 28 Αυγουστου
Πολυ ωραίες φωτογραφίες!
ΥΓ. Σήμερα έχω γενέθλια!!
Thanks for the information! Maybe, there is a difference between all the orthodox churches (Copts, Armenians, Ethiopians). Actually, the first comment here above, written by our blogging friend Irina, from Kemerovo (Russia), indicates "August 28 in the Orthodox calendar is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary".
DeleteHave a nice time :-)
In Russia we celebrate the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on August 28th every year.
DeleteThank you for the explaination, Irina 🙂
DeleteEnjoy the the rest of this sunny week ☀️
Our week is rainy and cool, it's not sunny!
DeleteSorry to hear of such weather condition in your special corner of the world (I've seen mostly sunny forecast in Europe this week).
DeleteI hope the sunny weather will be there soon :-)
Bellísimas fotografías de esos detalles en estas puertas del casco antiguo de esa bella ciudad italiana. La belleza urbanística de Italia es incuestionable. Mucha de esa arquitectura italiana es patrimonio de la humanidad afortunadamente para todos.
ReplyDeleteThere're testimonies of incomparable artistic value produced over almost three millennia of history also in your country.
DeleteThank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment!
Hi Giorgio!
ReplyDeleteYes, today is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In Poland, at Mass the priest blesses the herbs and fruits brought by the faithful. In Poland, we have a public holiday too. It isn’t just the anniversary of the Battle of Warsaw, but Polish Army Day.
My good friend, I greet you and I wish you all the best!
P.S.
Giorgio you have published beautiful photos!
The Battle of Warsaw, also known as the Miracle on the Vistula: Information I didn't know.
DeleteHave a nice time, Anna ☀️
Such a beautiful series you have shown here.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them!
DeleteYes, Georgio. I absolutely enjoy your photos of Italy.
ReplyDeletePlease keep them coming!
We celebrate the Feast of the Assumption on the same day too.
Happy Thursday!
Thank you, Veronica :-) I'll continue to show photos again!
DeleteThat look impressive <3
ReplyDeleteTrue! It looks affecting (I think you mean the last one)
DeleteI'm writing this comment 3 days after "Ferragosto" and the first thing I'm trivially thinking is that Summer is going to the end (Righeira docent)
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh, Daniele :-) ... actually, Summer is going to an end.
DeleteI always enjoy seeing your photographs of Italy.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
