On July 2nd we commemorate the Deposition of the Robe of the Theotokos. According to tradition, many miracles have occurred and a great number of people have been healed by the wonder-working Robe. Every year on July 2, the Most Precious Robe is carried from the Zugdidi Museum to the Cathedral of the Blachernae Icon of the Theotokos. After the festal Liturgy the faithful joyfully venerate this most priceless treasure of the Christian Faith.
The Gospel reading. for this day is Luke 10:38-42 & 11:27-28, about Hospitality, Distraction and Worry. While Mary, sat and listened to Jesus, Martha, worried about the meal and did not listen. Remember, you need to focus on the what is important and that is the Lord. He is the one who lessens our worries, so don’t occupy yourselves with anything else because He always comes first for us.
