Since September 1, 2023, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church have switched to the new Julian church calendar, so now all non-moving holidays with a fixed date are celebrated 13 days earlier. Therefore, in 2024, parishioners of these churches celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15.
