Dormition of the Virgin - a photo on Flickriver

            "What is that coming up from the wilderness,
like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all the fragrant powders of the merchant?"
– Song of Songs 3:6, which is part of first lesson at Matins for the Assumption. 

Stained glass window from the former abbey church of St Pierre in Chartres. Our Lady has "fallen asleep" in death, with the apostles gathered around her. But Christ has come to carry her, body and soul, into heaven - the Virgin Mother is held in his arms like a little girl!
