Τι νόημα έχει η Κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου στην ελληνική παράδοση; Και γιατί θα έπρεπε να μας νοιάζει; Ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον άρθρο από μια γνωστή Αμερικανίδα συγγραφέα που ζει μόνιμα στην Ελλάδα. "...the rituals of Easter and August focus on the experiences of women in ways that might not be expected in a patriarchal religion. This suggests that the religion and rites of the Mother have not been forgotten. The role of the grieving Mother Demeter whose rituals were practiced for over 1000 years was “assumed” by Mary. This is the hidden meaning of the rituals of the Assumption. Though they may not ever have heard of the Goddess Demeter, Greek women continue to re-enact the rituals of separation, loss, and reintegration, birth, death, and regeneration that their mothers and grandmothers have practiced from time immemorial."
