Holy Belt of the Theotokos (August 31st)

According to sacred tradition, the Holy Belt was given by the Virgin Mary to the Apostle Thomas immediately after her Dormition and subsequent Assumption. It is considered an exceptionally holy relic, as it is the only personal item of the Virgin Mary that has been preserved.

The Holy Belt (or Precious Belt) is kept at the Vatopedi Monastery on Mount Athos.
