Assumption Of Virgin Mary

 

    On August 15, 2005, the celebration of the Assumption of Virgin Mary took place for the first time at St. Peter's Cathedral. The Church was filled with people of all ages as His Beloved Mar Sarhad Jammo celebrated the mass. Candles were lit in remembrance of the Virgin, and the choir sang harmoniously in celebration of our Beloved Mother.
The Bishop firmly stated the Blessed Virgin is the topmost of all
women and she will always hear our prayers. The remembrance was taken
outside where the crowds of people gathered to kiss the picture of the
Virgin Mary. Many left flowers and stood in front of the statue to
pray, adore, and admire the Mother of our Lord.
This is the first year this wonderful celebration has taken place at
St. Peter's Cathedral. Bishop Sarhad Jammo along with the clergy at
our church worked together to bring such a joyous feast to us and we
hope this enriching and fulfilling celebration will become an annual
event.
