Mother Of God. Just as the Prophets Enoch & Elijah entered Heaven with both body & soul, so too, did the Blessed Virgin Mary. Assumption Of MaryTeaching of the Assumption of Mary became widespread across the Christian world, having been celebrated as early as the 5th century and having been established in the East by Emperor Maurice around AD 600. John Damascene records the following: St. Juvenal, Bishop of Jerusalem, at the Council of Chalcedon (451), made known to the Emperor Marcian and Pulcheria, who wished to possess the body of the Mother of God, that Mary died in the presence of all the Apostles, but that her tomb, when opened upon the request of St. Thomas, was found empty; wherefrom the Apostles concluded that the body was taken up to heaven. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assumption_of_Mary But they would say that, wouldn't they? |
