After Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos

Last Friday the Church celebrated the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos, one of the twelve great feasts of the Church.

Church tradition tells us that when Mary died, as all humans must, all of the Apostles were present excepting Thomas.

When he arrived a few days later he asked to see her and thus her tomb was opened and it was found her body was no longer present but had been assumed into Heaven, a foretaste of our own resurrection at Christ's second coming.
