@abberz09@JamesDueck Stories regarding Maryโs "dormition" and assumption only first appeared in apocryphal literature during the late 5th and 6th centuries
@abberz09@MJKelleyII@JamesDueck None of the earliest Christians believed. In fact Epiphanius of Salamis investigated the end of Mary's life concluded that absolutely nothing was known about how or where it concluded, proving a lack of early apostolic oral tradition.
