The name refers to the Dormition of the Theotokos tradition of Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches, which approximately corresponds to the notion of the Assumption of Mary, the mother of Jesus, of the Catholic Church. Both refer to the same event, but the notions are ontologically different, therefore the translation Cathedral of the Assumption as applied to Orthodox churches and cathedrals is considered incorrect.
