Summary/Abstract: The doctrine about the Holy Virgin Mary forms a substantial and a very important chapter of Christian theology, which has been enriched, analyzed and synthesized, in different contexts, by some Theologians and specialists in Mariology. The figure of the Mother of God is presented in the entire life of the Church, although we are speaking about the internal or the external liturgical service. She has occupied a determinant place in the heart of the believers, in personal piety or godliness, even from her life and especially after Her Assumption. This article tries to analyze the elements of the hymnography from this feast of the Assumption of Virgin Mary, to demonstrate the significance of this Holy feast and also the importance of the person of Holy Mother of God in the liturgical and sacramental life of the Orthodox Church.
