Inspired by the Greek Orthodox feast commemorating the
Dormition, the death of the Virgin Mary and her assumption into Heaven, Kimisis
takes the theme set by yesterday’s commemorative activities to another
level. In the Church this service lasts several hours, but Con Koukias has
considerately compressed his version into just twenty minutes.
