Introduction

Mary is a Jewish Virgin woman who Gave birth to Saviour Lord Jesus Christ. She is likewise titled as Virgin Mary, mother Mary, St mary. She is also called mother of Messiah Jesus venerated in the all Christian church for the reason that apostolic age. She is likewise Honoured as mother of God or  of Savior and Virgin Mary as She Gave virgin start to Saviour Lord Jesus Christ with the assist of holy spirit literally as Prophets and Patriarchs Prophecies thousand years ago.

The development of Mary doctrine may be traced thru many titles that have been attributed to her within the historical records of most people Christian groups—guarantee of the Incarnation, virgin mother, 2nd Eve [Just like Jesus is last Adam as quoted by Paul], mother of God Jesus, Perpetual virgin, immaculate Mary, and assumption into heaven.

Year of Birth and Death - 18BC/16BC-43AD

Refferences of Mary in New testament and Books of Prophet.

Books of Prophet

1]Isaiah 7:14

[14]therefore the Lord Himself will come up with a signal (regarding the approaching of messiah): Behold, the virgin (Mary) shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall name His name Immanuel (ie- God is with us)

2]“So I approached the prophetess, (Mary the Prophetess) and she (Mary) conceived and gave birth to a son. Then the LORD stated
to me, ‘Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz’” Isaiah 8:3

That is a duel-motive prophecy and an inscription prophecy. Isaiah offers the explanation that the loot Could be moved quickly off by means of the despised king of Assyria. “Shalal” way loot or captivity, “hash” approach

Hurry, and “baz” approach despised one. The word “maher” is neglected of this prophecy altogether. Whilst the word “maher” is brought to the other 3 words, it forms a almost a distinctive sentence. “Har” is the Hebrew phrase for

Mountain and attaching an “m” onto “Har” could imply “from the mountain.” So the whole sentence

Is “from the mountain (Golgotha) the despised one (Jesus) will hurriedly lead captivity captive.”


New testament


1]Matthew 1:18

[18]Now the birth of Jesus Christ become as follows: After His mother Mary changed into betrothed to Joseph, before they came collectively, she turned into determined with toddler of the Holy Spirit.


Mary Remained Virgin throughout her existence,So she is called Virgin Mary.Origen and Jerome the Church Father Agreed ,With this perspectives(entering into detail about virginity later). Joseph and Mary Lived together, but Jesus Brothers have been the previous spouse of Joseph Who died, before He become with Mary. Marrying any other wife after loss of life of His 1st wife isn’t a Sin as in step with Paul epistle


1 Timothy five:14

[14]therefore I (Paul) desire that the younger widows marry (This isn't always against Bible), bear children, manage the residence, provide no possibility to the adversary to speak reproachfully.


Joseph became stated to be antique, because He is meant to Be lifeless,whilst Jesus became around 26 Years vintage.None of the Gospel tells about Joseph ,whilst Jesus was 30 Years and Later, even if he become Crucified, simplest Mary become close to Jesus.


2]Matthew 2:eleven

[11]And when they [Magi] had come into the house, they saw the younger child (Jesus) with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him (Jesus) . And when they had opened their treasures (or items), they supplied gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.


While Magi got here to visit Christ Jesus, Mary become by myself and Joseph wasn’t with Mary.


3]Matthew thirteen:fifty five-56

[55]is that this no longer the carpenter’s son? Isn't always His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

[56]And His sisters [Salome], are they no longer all with us? Where then did this guy get all this stuff (know-how,  know-how, Wiseness)?”


Mark 6:3

[3]is that this (Jesus) not the carpenter (like Joseph), the Son of Mary, and (cousin) brother of James, ,Joses( step-brother) Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So people had been indignant at Him.


Whilst Jesus read in synagogue absolutely everyone have been shocked via seeing his understanding. He's Quoted as Brother of James, Joses, Simon, and Judas. Origen remark on this assertion.


4]Matthew 27:fifty five-fifty six

[55]And Jesus turned into observed via many girls  from Galilee, ministering to Him, have been (*or from) there looking on from afar,

[56]among whom have been Mary (of) Magdalene, Mary the mom of James and Joses(Jesus cousins), and the mother of Zebedee’s sons(James). Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb


Mark 15:forty

[40]There were also women searching on from afar, amongst whom had been Mary Magdalene, Mary the mom of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,


Joseph tomb is likewise known as as garden of Joseph (additionally Quoted in Gospel of Peter)In Matthew Mary is said to be mother of James and Jose’s,but it Fails to inform Simon, and Judas and Sister [salome] ,This isn't always Mary mom of God Jesus .


Church Father St Jerome wrote a e-book named Perpetual Virginity  of Mary telling his opinion to the Church, He maintained a Doctrine mom Mary usually (or continually) remained  a virgin; he additionally explained to folks that have been (allegedly?)called the brothers and sisters of Jesus as quoted had been really children of Mary’s sister, any other Mary who he is stated to be the spouse of Clopas in scripture. 


5]Luke 1:26-35

[26]Now within the sixth month (of the pregnancy of Elizabeth) the angel (named)Gabriel changed into sent through God to a city (or location) of Galilee named Nazareth,

[27]to a virgin betrothed (married) to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David(or Geneology of David). The virgin’s call become Mary.

[28]And having are available, the angel (Gabriel)stated to her(Mary), “rejoice, enormously preferred one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among all  girls!”

[29]however when Mary saw Angel, she became stricken (afraid) at his announcing, and considered(asked) what manner of greeting this changed into.

[30]Then the angel gabriel stated to her, “Do now not be afraid, Mary, for you have got located favor with (in the sight of) God.

[31]And behold, you may conceive to your womb and convey forth a Son(Messiah), and shall name His name Jesus or (Yeshua).

[32]He will be taken into consideration extraordinary, and he could be referred to as the Son of the highest (or excellent God); and our lord god will deliver Him the superb throne of His father David.

[33]And he'll rule over the residence of Jacob forever, and in His country  there will be no give up.”

[34]Then blessed Mary stated to the angel gabriel, “How can this appear, since I do no longer recognise a person?”

[35]And the angel Gabriel spoke back and said to Mary, “The Holy ghost will come upon you, and the power of the maximum highest will overshadow you; consequently, also, that Holy One (Messiah) who's to be born may be referred to as the Son of God or maximum high.


Whilst Angel Gabriel met Mary,He said blessed are you among girls!”


Luke 1:48

[48] all generations will name [Mary] blessed.


Mary is referred to as as BLESSED,God has said,but many Reject Mary as Blessed(FOR greater records see later segment)


6]Luke 2:34

[34]Then Simeon blessed them, and Prophesied to Mary His mom, “Behold, this child Jesus is destined for the autumn and rising of many (human beings) in Israel, and for a sign so that you can be spoken in opposition to

This was Prophecy of Simeon when Mary went to Temple for Circumcision of Jesus.

[2]Now both Jesus and His disciples (12 or seventy two , now not acknowledged) have been invited to the marriage.

[3]And whilst the wine became inadequate, the (Mary) mother of Jesus stated to Him, “They haven't any wine left.”


Mary appears in Marriage, She is stated to be mom of Jesus. In Jewish Marriage Wine is critical thing or Ritual.If there's scarcity of Wine, It’s like shortage of appreciate. Mary simply Request Jesus and In faith Tells the worker to do whatever Jesus Says. This is actual faith,so many Pray to Mary(As mom of God She Make Request to Mary. There are numerous Miracles from Mary.

[27]Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his very own home. It is completed


Here we are able to know that Mary and Her sister Mary spouse of Clopas,She is noted as Son of James and Jose’s, that's Jesus Cousin and different Judas, Simon is the Son of Former wife of Joseph.

Virginity

Church Father Quoted that Mary Remained Virgin.

Origen Commentary  on Matthew

They concept, then, that He turned into the son of Joseph and Mary. But some say,

Basing it on a way of life  in the Gospel consistent with Peter, as it's far entitled, or “The  book of James,” that the brethren of Jesus had been sons of Joseph with the aid of a former spouse, whom he married earlier than Mary. Now folks that say so desire to hold the respect of Mary in virginity to the give up(which means that people who say Mary remained Virgin until the stop of her life), so that the frame of hers which turned into appointed to minister to the word which said, “The Holy Ghost shall Encounter thee, and the Power of the most high shall overshadow thee,”(Luke) She may not Have intercourse with a man after that the Holy Ghost came into her and the power from on high overshadowed her.

Opinion of Origen (Continuation)

And i assume it in harmony with motive that Jesus turned into the primary-fruit among men of the purity which consists in chastity, and Mary among girls; for it were now not pious to ascribe to any apart from to her the first-fruit of virginity

Jerome wrote a book named Perpetual Virginity of mary Mary representing the general opinion of the Church, maintained Mary remained continually a virgin; he held those who have been referred to as the brothers and sisters of Jesus have been definitely kids of Mary’s sister,  other Mary, whom he considered the spouse of Clopas,(as We saw Above).


The truth is there are several reviews of Church Father like Tertullian (d, circa 220) denied the virginity of Mary after Jesus' beginning. Origen (d 254), by way of comparison, taught Mary's perpetual virginity. In the East, St. Athanasius strongly defended Mary's virginity after the start of Jesus. Rapidly after, St.Basil the exceptional (d, circa 380) popular Mary's perpetual virginity and claimed that it contemplated the overall experience of believers, though he did no longer take into account it to be a dogma. Across the same time inside the West, Jovinian and Helvidius denied the perpetual virginity at the same time as Ambrose (d. 397), Jerome (d. 420) and Augustine (d. 430) staunchly defended it.

Earlier than Jesus Died on go, when Jesus Consequently noticed his mother, and the Disciple standing by using, whom he Loved, he saith unto his mother, Lady, behold thy son! Then saith He to the disciple, Behold thy Mother.

This suggests that Mary Didn’t have her own Son to take care of Her, So Jesus Gave price to John pronouncing, She is your mother.

Pray to Mary?


Mary isn't always a Godess, however She has a place in Heaven as you recognize the Scripture Says,

Angel said to her[Mary], “Rejoice, Highly preferred(favored) one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you amongst womens!”

Again,

Luke 1:48

[48] all generations will call You [Mary] blessed.

Three Thessalonians(This book is  Quoted through Origen as Written through Paul and Later Eusbieus Seeing Origen’s Quote approved ,however was lost in 3rd Century or may be end 2d Century.)

(4:6) when ye sing “Proud Mary,” sing it slowly and pensively.

Praying to Mary, there are numerous Miracle. 

We need to Pray to Mary to tell our Prayer and to pass our Prayer to Jesus.As you realize through Bible Mary said to Jesus in Cana in Galilee to transform Water to Wine 🍷 It become Jesus First Miracle or similar to In courtroom God is the chooseand a legal professional is a Mediator. Like that Mary is our Mediator


Mary the last Eve

Mary is attributed as final Eve. Right here i can display the Scripture which healthy this concept.

Paul in Corinthians said that,

1 Corinthians 15:forty five


[45]And so it's far written, “the first man Adam have become a r living being.” The final Adam have become a life-giving spirit.

Paul Quotes last Adam as Jesus.This can't be found in Genesis.This may be different version of Genesis or A Missing book of Bible.

Some translation states From the First Adam death came...

Same way Mary is Quoted in Genesis,

Genesis 3:15

[15]And I[God] will put enmity Between you[Serpent or Lucifer] and the woman[Mary], And between your[Serpent or Lucifer]  seed and her[Mary] Seed; He[Jesus] shall bruise your[Serpents or Lucifers]  head, And you[Serpent or Lucifer]  shall bruise His heel.”

Later,

Genesis 3:20

[20]And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

Same manner Mary became mother of Jesus[God and Saviour] like Jesus the final Adam Mary may be called last Eve.


Assumption of Mary


If the Legends are to be Believed, Mary turned into Ascended to Heaven.


There are not any WRITINGS OF Church Father about loss of life/Assumption of Mary.


Scripture tells us that John turned into Given rate of Mary .


“Now there stood with the aid of the go of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s

Sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas,

And Mary Magdalene.Whilst Jesus

Consequently noticed his mother, and the Disciple status by means of, whom he Cherished, he saith unto his mom,

Female, behold thy son! Then saith

He to the disciple, Behold thy

Mom ! And from that hour that

Disciple took her unto his personal

Home.” John 19:25-27


I trust in Mary's Assumption,as you know Origen said


"and i assume it in harmony with reason that Jesus turned into the primary-fruit among guys of the purity which is composed in chastity, and Mary amongst women; for it were not pious to ascribe to any apart from to her the primary-fruit of virginity."


 Jesus is First Fruit of Purity amongst guys Mary amongst ladies,So Mary may additionally have Ascended to Heaven like Jesus.


There are  Manuscript about Assumption of Mary.


One Claiming to Be Written with the aid of John and any other by way of Joseph of Arimathea.Whether or not it is authentic or now not no one Can choose.(Books are Given in stop)


Book of John is Written in the Tone and style of Revelation of John and additionally like Epistles of John. book of Joseph of Arimathea is Written after Acts of Apostle book as it Mentions Philips Rapture of Acts.A few Allege that Joseph Died round ad seventy five and a few Allege it around ad 46.Joseph is claimed to be elder than Mary .He is Allege to Be Preached in Britain and Died in His vintage age .Acts was Written around 60AD-70AD, If He died around ad seventy five ,This record may be proper,however lost for centuries.No matter ,but the records Contained may be authentic

Both the Manuscript are Parrallel and includes right statistics. book by  Joseph is Quoted by way of Eusbieus as Disputed, but as  Eusbieus Disputed most of the Canonical Books too,So his Canon can't be Believed.But None of Church Father Quoted this. The ebook states that Mary died and turned into Buried and in 3 day She ascended to heaven from the tomb.

Manuscript,

The Passing of Mary(By Joseph)

In that point before the Lord got here to His passion, and amongst many words which the mother asked of the Son, she commenced to invite Him about her own departure, addressing Him as follows:—O maximum expensive Son, I pray Thy holiness, that after my soul is going out of my body, Thou allow me understand at the third day earlier than; and do Thou, liked Son, with Thy angels, get hold of it.  Then He received the prayer of His loved mother, and said to her:  O palace and temple of the living God, O blessed mother, O queen of all saints, and blessed specifically women, before thou carriedst me in thy womb, I constantly guarded thee, and precipitated thee to be fed every day with my angelic meals, as thou knowest:  how can i desolate tract thee, after thou hast carried me, and nourished me, and brought me down in flight into Egypt, and persisted many hardships for me?  Realize, then, that my angels have always guarded thee, and will shield thee even until thy departure.  But when I go through suffering for guys, as it's miles written, and rise once more at the third day, and after forty days ascend into heaven, while thou shalt see me coming to thee with angels and archangels, with saints and with virgins, and with my disciples, realize for certain that thy soul can be separated from the body, and that i shall convey it into heaven, where it shall in no way in any respect have tribulation or discomfort.  Then she joyed and gloried, and kissed the knees of her Son, and blessed the writer of heaven and earth, who gave her such a gift via Jesus Christ her Son.


Within the 2nd yr, consequently, after the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ, the most blessed Virgin Mary endured continually in prayer day and night.  And at the third day before she passed away, an angel of the Lord got here to her, and saluted her, pronouncing:  Hail, Mary, full of grace! The Lord be with thee.  And she or he replied, announcing:  thanks to God.  Once more he stated to her:  acquire this palm which the Lord promised to thee.  And she, giving way to God, with awesome joy obtained from the hand of the angel the palm despatched to her.  The angel of the Lord stated to her:  Thy assumption can be after 3 days.  And he or she responded:  way to God.


Then she called Joseph of the city of Arimathæa, and the alternative disciples of the Lord; and once they, each relations and buddies, have been assembled, she announced her departure to all standing there.  Then the blessed Mary washed herself, and dressed herself like a queen, and waited the appearance of her Son, as He had promised to her.  And he or she asked all her family members to maintain beside her, and deliver her consolation.  And she had in conjunction with her three virgins, Sepphora, Abigea, and Zaël; but the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ had been already dispersed at some stage in the complete global to preach to the humans of God.


Then on the 3 hour there have been high-quality thunders, and rains, and lightnings, and tribulation, and an earthquake, at the same time as queen Mary became status in her chamber.  John the evangelist and apostle became all at once introduced from Ephesus, and entered the chamber of the blessed Mary, and saluted her, and said to her:  Hail, Mary, full of grace! The Lord be with thee.  And she or he responded:  way to God.  And raising herself up, she kissed Saint John.  And the blessed Mary said to him:  O my dearest son, why hast thou left me at this sort of time, and hast not paid heed to the instructions of thy master, to take care of me, as He commanded thee even as He changed into putting at the move?  And he asked pardon with bended knee.  Then the blessed Mary gave him her benediction, and once more kissed him.  And while she supposed to invite him whence he got here, and for what reason he had come to Jerusalem, behold, all the disciples of the Lord, except Thomas who is known as Didymus, were delivered by using a cloud to the door of the chamber of the blessed Mary.  They stood and went in, and saluted the queen with the subsequent phrases, and adored her:  Hail, Mary, complete of grace! The Lord be with thee.  And he or she eagerly rose quick, and bowed herself, and kissed them, and gave way to God.  Those are the names of the disciples of the Lord who have been delivered thither inside the cloud:  John the evangelist and James his brother, Peter and Paul, Andrew, Philip, Luke, Barnabas, Bartholomew and Matthew, Matthias who is referred to as Justus, Simon the Chananæan, Judas and his brother, Nicodemus and Maximianus, and plenty of others who can't be numbered.  Then the blessed Mary said to her brethren:  what's this, that you have all come to Jerusalem?  Peter, answering, said to her:  We had need to invite this of thee, and dost thou question us?  Clearly, as I think, none of us knows why we have come here to-day with such rapidity.  I was at Antioch, and now i'm right here.  All declared it seems that the vicinity wherein they had been that day.  And they all puzzled that they had been there when they heard these items.  The blessed Mary said to them:  I asked my Son, earlier than He persevered the passion, that He and you need to be at my dying; and He granted me this present.  Whence you can realize that my departure may be to-morrow.  Watch and pray with me, that when the Lord comes to obtain my soul, He may additionally locate you looking.  Then all promised that they could watch.  And they watched and prayed the whole night time, with psalms and chants, with top notch illuminations.


And while the Lord’s day got here, on the third hour, simply because the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles in a cloud, so Christ descended with a mess of angels, and acquired the soul of His cherished mother.  For there was such splendour and fragrance of sweetness, and angels making a song the songs of songs, where the Lord says, As a lily amongst thorns, so is my love a few of the daughters, that each one who have been there gift fell on their faces, because the apostles fell while Christ transfigured Himself before them on Mount Thabor, and for a whole hour and a 1/2 no person turned into able to upward thrust.  But whilst the mild went away, and on the equal time with the light itself, the soul of the blessed virgin Mary was taken up into heaven with psalms, and hymns, and songs of songs.  And because the cloud went up the complete earth shook, and in a single motherent all the inhabitants of Jerusalem brazenly noticed the departure of St. Mary.


And that equal hour satan entered into them, and that they started out to take into account what they had been to do along with her body.  And they took up guns, that they might burn her frame and kill the apostles, due to the fact from her had long past forth the dispersions of Israel, resulting from their sins and the collection collectively of the Gentiles.  However they had been struck with blindness, putting their heads towards the walls, and putting each other.  Then the apostles, alarmed by means of a lot brightness, arose, and with psalms carried the holy body down from Mount Zion to the valley of Jehoshaphat.  But as they were going inside the middle of the road, behold, a sure Jew, Reuben through call, wishing to throw to the floor the holy bier with the body of the blessed Mary.  However his hands dried up, even to the elbow; whether he could or now not, he went down even to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, weeping and lamenting because his hands were raised to the bier, and he was not capable of pull away his arms to himself.  And he began to ask the apostles that by using their prayer he might be saved and made a Christian.  Then the apostles, bending their knees, requested the Lord to permit him unfastened.  And he, being healed that equal hour, giving thanks to God and kissing the ft of the queen of all the saints and apostles, changed into baptized in that same place, and started to evangelise the call of our God Jesus Christ.


Then the apostles with high-quality honour laid the frame in the tomb, weeping and singing through exceeding love and wonder.  And unexpectedly there shone spherical them a mild from heaven, and that they fell to the floor, and the holy body become taken up through angels into heaven.


Then the maximum blessed Thomas changed into all at once brought to the Mount of Olivet, and saw the most blessed body going as much as heaven, and commenced to cry out and say:  O holy mother, blessed mother, spotless mother, if i have now found grace due to the fact I see thee, make thy servant happy through thy compassion, because thou artwork going to heaven.  Then the girdle with which the apostles had encircled the most holy frame become thrown down from heaven to the blessed Thomas.  And taking it, and kissing it, and giving thanks to God, he got here again into the Valley of Jehoshaphat.  He observed all the apostles and another fantastic crowd there beating their breasts on account of the brightness which that they had visible.  And seeing and kissing each different, the blessed Peter stated to him:  absolutely thou hast usually been stubborn and unbelieving, because for thine unbelief it became not captivating to God that thou shouldst be at the side of us on the burial of the mother of the Saviour.  And he, beating his breast, stated:  I understand and firmly believe that i have usually been a awful and an unbelieving guy; therefore I ask pardon of all of you for my obduracy and unbelief.  And they all prayed for him.  Then the blessed Thomas stated:  in which have you ever laid her body?  And that they talked about the sepulchre with their finger.  And he stated:  The body that's known as most holy is not there.  Then the blessed Peter stated to him:  Already on every other occasion thou wouldst now not trust the resurrection of our grasp and Lord at our phrase, except thou went to the touch Him with thy arms, and notice Him; how wilt thou agree with us that the holy body is here?  Still he persists saying:  It isn't always right here.  Then, because it had been in a rage, they went to the sepulchre, which was a brand new one hollowed out inside the rock, and took up the stone; however they did now not discover the frame, no longer understanding what to say, due to the fact they had been convicted by using the phrases of Thomas.  Then the blessed Thomas instructed them how he become singing mass in India—he nonetheless had on his sacerdotal robes.  He, now not understanding the phrase of God, were brought to the Mount of Olivet, and saw the most holy frame of the blessed Mary going up into heaven, and prayed her to present him a blessing.  She heard his prayer, and threw him her girdle which she had about her.  And the apostles seeing the belt which they had put about her, glorifying God, all requested pardon of the blessed Thomas, on account of the benediction which the blessed Mary had given him, and due to the fact he had seen the most holy frame going up into heaven.  And the blessed Thomas gave them his benediction, and stated:  Behold how proper and the way fine it's far for brethren to dwell together in unity!


And the same cloud through which they were introduced carried them again every to his own place, just like Philip when he baptized the eunuch, as is examine inside the Acts of the Apostles; and as Habakkuk the prophet carried food to Daniel, who changed into inside the lions’ den, and fast again to Judæa.  And so also the apostles quickly again to where that they had in the beginning been, to preach to the human beings of God.  Nor is it to be puzzled at that He ought to do such matters, who went into the virgin and came out of her though her womb became closed; who, though the gates were close, went in to His disciples; who made the deaf to hear, raised the useless, cleansed the lepers, gave sight to the blind, and did many other wonderful things.  To believe that is no dubious count number.


I'm Joseph who laid the Lord’s body in my sepulchre, and saw Him rising again; and who, before the ascension and after the ascension of the Lord, always stored his maximum sacred temple the blessed ever-virgin Mary, and who have stored in writing and in my breast the things which got here forth from the mouth of God, and the way the matters cited above had been done through the judgment of God.  And i have made acknowledged to all, Jews and Gentiles, the ones things which I noticed with my eyes, and heard with my ears; and as long as I live I shall no longer stop to declare them.  And her, whose assumption is at at the motherent commemorated and worshipped during the whole global, allow us to assiduously entreat that she bear in mind people within the presence of her maximum pious Son in heaven, to whom is praise and glory through endless a while of a long time.  Amen.


The book of John regarding the dying of Mary

Because the all-holy superb mother of God and ever-virgin Mary, as became her wont, become going to the holy tomb of our Lord to burn incense, and bending her holy knees(The tomb which Jesus was buried in his Crucifixion), she become importunate that Christ our God who have been born of her ought to go back to her. And the Jews, seeing her lingering with the aid of the divine sepulchre, got here to the leader monks, pronouncing: Mary is going each day to the tomb. And the leader priests, having summoned the guards set by means of them no longer to permit anyone to pray at the holy sepulchre, inquired about her, whether in fact it were so. And the guards replied and stated that they had seen no such element, God having now not allowed them to look her while there. And on one of the days, it being the coaching, the holy Mary, as became her wont, came to the sepulchre; and at the same time as she changed into praying, it got here to pass that the heavens have been opened, and the archangel Gabriel came down to her and said: Hail, thou that didst bring about Christ our God! Thy prayer having come thru to the heavens to Him who turned into born of thee, has been prevalent; and from this time, in step with thy request, thou having left the sector, shall go to the heavenly locations to thy Son, into the actual and eternal life.


And having heard this from the holy archangel, she lower back to holy Bethlehem, having together with her three virgins who ministered unto her. And after having rested a quick time, she sat up and stated to the virgins: carry me a censer, that I can also pray. And they introduced it, as they had been commanded. And she prayed, saying: My Lord Jesus Christ, who didst deign through Thy very best goodness to be born of me, listen my voice, and send me Thy apostle John, simply so, seeing him, I may partake of pleasure; and ship me also the relaxation of Thy apostles, both those who have already long past to Thee, and those inside the global that now's, in whatever united states they'll be, via Thy holy commandment, just so, having beheld them, I might also bless Thy name an awful lot to be praised; for i am assured that Thou hearest Thy servant in everything.


And whilst she was praying, I John came, the Holy Spirit having snatched me up by means of a cloud from Ephesus, and set me inside the region where the mother of my Lord became lying. And having long past in beside her, and glorified Him who were born of her, I said: Hail, mother of my Lord, who didst bring about Christ our God, have fun that during awesome glory thou artwork going out of this life. And the holy mother of God glorified God, due to the fact I John had come to her, remembering the voice of the Lord, saying: Behold thy mother, and, Behold thy son. (2) And the three virgins came and worshipped. And the holy mother of God says to me: Pray, and forged incense. And i prayed hence: Lord Jesus Christ, who hast carried out great things, now also do fantastic matters before her who delivered Thee forth; and permit Thy mother depart from this existence; and let folks that crucified Thee, and who've not believed in Thee, be confounded. And after I had ended the prayer, holy Mary stated to me: deliver me the censer. And having solid incense, she said, Glory to Thee, my God and my Lord, because there has been fulfilled in me by any means Thou didst promise to me earlier than thou didst ascend into the heavens, that when I need to leave from this global Thou wouldst come to me, and the multitude of Thine angels, with glory. And i John say to her: Jesus Christ our Lord and our God is coming, and thou seest (3) Him, as He promised to thee. And the holy mother of God answered and said to me: The Jews have sworn that after i have died they will burn my body. And that i responded and said to her: Thy holy and treasured body will by no means see corruption. And she or he answered and said to me: bring a censer, and cast incense, and pray. And there came a voice out of the heavens pronouncing the Amen. And i John heard this voice; and the Holy Spirit said to me: John, hast thou heard this voice that spoke inside the heaven after the prayer turned into ended? And i responded and said: sure, I heard.

And at the identical (3) Lord’s day the mother of the Lord says to the apostles: cast incense, due to the fact Christ is coming with a number of angels; and, behold, Christ is at hand, sitting on a throne of cherubim. And even as we were all praying, there appeared innumerable multitudes of angels, and the Lord mounted upon cherubim in great power; and, behold, a flow of light (4) coming to the holy virgin, due to the presence of her best-begotten Son, and all of the powers of the heavens fell down and cherished Him.

And the Lord stated to her: Grieve not, however allow thy coronary heart have a good time and be happy; for thou hast observed grace to behold the respect given to me with the aid of my Father. And the holy mother of God looked up, and saw in Him a glory which it is not possible for the mouth of man to talk of, or to understand. And the Lord remained beside her, announcing: Behold, from the prevailing time thy precious body might be transferred to paradise, and thy holy soul to the heavens to the treasures of my Father in exceeding brightness, in which there is peace and pleasure of the holy angels,–and different things besides.

For thou hast blessed it, and raised it up while it changed into ruined, through bringing forth the mild of the arena. And the mother of the Lord prayed, and in her prayer spoke hence: O God, who through Thy super goodness hast sent from the heavens Thine handiest-begotten Son to reside in my humble frame, who hast deigned to be born of me, humble as i am, have mercy upon the arena, and every soul that calls upon Thy name.

And the Lord grew to become and stated to Peter: The time has come to start the singing of the hymn. And Peter having started the singing of the hymn, all the powers of the heavens responded with the Alleluiah. After which the face of the mother of the Lord shone brighter than the mild, and she rose up and blessed each of the apostles with her own hand, and all gave glory to God; and the Lord stretched forth His undefiled palms, and acquired her holy and innocent soul. And with the departure of her innocent soul the location changed into filled with perfume and ineffable light; and, behold, a voice out of the heaven become heard, announcing: Blessed artwork thou among girls. And Peter, and that i John, and Paul, and Thomas, ran and wrapped up her valuable ft for the consecration; and the twelve apostles placed her treasured and holy frame upon a sofa, and carried it. And, behold, whilst they had been sporting her, a sure nicely-born Hebrew, Jephonias by call, running against the frame, placed his fingers upon the couch; and, behold, an angel of the Lord through invisible electricity, with a sword of fire, cut off his  arms from his shoulders, and made them dangle approximately the sofa, lifted up in the air. And at this miracle which had come to pass all of the humans of the Jews who beheld it cried out: Verily, He that changed into introduced forth by way of thee is the proper God, O mother of God, ever-virgin Mary. And Jephonias himself, while Peter ordered him, that the amazing matters of God is probably showed forth, stood up behind the couch, and cried out: Holy Mary, who broughtest forth Christ who's God, have mercy upon me. And Peter became and said to him: inside the name of Him who changed into born of her, thy palms that have been taken far from thee, could be fixed on again. And straight away, at the phrase of Peter, the arms putting by using the couch of the lady came, and have been constant on Jephonias. And he believed, and glorified Christ, God who had been born of her.


And when this miracle had been achieved, the apostles carried (1) the couch, and laid down her treasured and holy frame in Gethsemane in a brand new tomb. And, behold, a perfume of candy relish came forth out of the holy sepulchre of our girl the mother of God; and for three days the voices of invisible angels had been heard glorifying Christ our God, who have been born of her. And when the 3 day was ended, the voices have been now not heard; and from that time forth all knew that her spotless and valuable frame had been transferred to paradise.


And after it have been transferred, behold, we see Elisabeth the mother of St. John the Baptist, and Anna the mother of the female, and Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and David, making a song the Alleluiah, and all the choirs of the saints adoring the holy relics of the mother of the Lord, and the location complete of mild, than which mild nothing might be greater extremely good, and an abundance of fragrance in that location to which her valuable and holy body were transferred in paradise, and the melody of those praising Him who had been born of her–candy melody, of which there's no satiety, including is given to virgins, and them most effective, to pay attention. We apostles, consequently, having beheld the surprising precious translation of her holy frame, glorified God, who had proven us His wonders at the departure of the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, whose (2) prayers and right offices may also all of us be deemed worthy to get hold of.
