As though he had been actually present, St. Dimitrius of Rostov recounts the most pure nature and countenance, even the physical appearance and character of Mary, the most-pure Virgin Mother of God. The miraculous events leading up to her blessed repose and burial, the bitter disappointment of the grief-stricken apostle Thomas, and her final departure into the heavenly kingdom are all recounted with great reverence and awe, and are sensitively rendered in this audio recording. From the Menology of St. Dimitrius of Rostov. 1 CD, 61 minutes.
