What is the date of the Nut Spice 2016

Each year the Nut Savior is celebrated in late August, and in 2016 it falls on the 29th. It is worth noting, the Dormition Post ends on August 28, so the Nut Spas becomes the first after it. In the Orthodox tradition, this day is called the Savior of the Holy Face of Christ the Savior. The story goes like this: the artist of the king of Edessa Avgaria failed to depict the face of Christ. Then the Savior washed his face, wiped him with a towel, and a face image remained on the fabric. The miraculous image was able to miraculously heal people, but, unfortunately, it was lost during one of the Crusades. Other names of the holiday are connected with this legend: Holshovy Savior or the Holy Face, and also the Savior on canvas.
