Each year on August 28th, Orthodox Christians in Georgia celebrate Mariamoba, the Dormition of Mary the Mother of God. Regarded as one of the Great Feasts, preceded by a two-week fast, it commemorates Mary’s death and ascension into heaven.

In Georgia, Mary is referred to as Mariami and the holiday is known as Mariamoba.

The festive service will be conducted at Sioni Cathedral in Tbilisi.
