Dear Colleague

This religious occasion is widely known as the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.Yet, for the subtitling purposes, i gave you a short form of the name.

Good Luck!

Dear Asker

Good Day,

The most important thing here is to mention that it is a feast and not the Assumption of virgin Mary into Heaven because this assumption happened since so long, whereas the occasion celebrated is the feast itself

Good Luck!

الزميلة الفاضلة،
عارفة حضرتك معنى الإجابة اللي حضرتك دخلتيها المسرد إيه في ضوء السياق، إنه ولا جواب استلمته منذ ارتقاء مريم العذراء إلى السماء منذ أكثر من 1950 سنة تقريبًا، كلمة عيد المقصودة من السياق كانت ستحل هذه الإشكالية، ولهذا حرصت على تقديم إجابتي لأنني لا أقدم إجابة إذا كانت الإجابات المطروحة على السؤال صحيحة.

مجرد ملاحظة
بالتوفيق
