THE FAST BEFORE THE FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY.
According to tradition, our heavenly Mother in preparation for her death prayed and fasted. In imitation of her and for proper spiritual preparation for the glorious feast of the Assumption, the Church prescribes for her faithful a fasting period of two weeks. It begins on the 1st of August, that is, on the feast of the martyred Maccabees. It is also called “Spasovka” (Savior’s Fast).
The feast of the Dormition, to which the fast owes its name, does not commemorate the death of the Mother of God, but her transition from to everlasting life in heaven. Christians believe that the Most Holy Theotokos intercedes for the Christians at the throne of the Lord for all the faithful who invoke Her name in prayer.
The Dormition Fast has been observed since the time of the early church, and its first mentions in historical records date back to the fifth century. The Constantinople Council of 1166 determined when the Dormition of the Theotokos fast should end and start.
