Catholicism teaches that Mary never died, but was assumed bodily into Heaven, the same as Jesus had been.

AnswerThe gospels say that Mary was alive at the time of the crucifixion, but say no more about her. A Christian tradition is that she died at an old age, while some believe she was taken up bodily and alive into heaven.

The Doctrine of the Assumption states that Mary was assumed into heaven, body and soul. However, it does not state that she was assumed live or died and her body assumed into heaven later. One of the apocryphal (non canoninical) scriptures states that she died and when they went back to the tomb 3 days later, the body was gone and only the burial cloths remained. According to the Vatican, either explanation is acceptable and not excluded by the doctrine. We know that Mary had two tombs, one near Jerusalem and the other near Ephesus, or, at least, these are claimed to be her tombs. Whether either was the actual tomb or whether either was ever used is not known.

The Bible does not give that. Mary is not mentioned in the Bible after Acts chapter one.

Acts 1:14 -- These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

Other than that, it is Catholic and Orthodox tradition that she was assumed into Heaven (or "translated") without actually dying first.

However, the Glastonbury Traditions propose Saturday, September 26, 48, in the afternoon.

A:Although there are many pious traditions, we actually know nothing about Mary other than what is told in the gospels. These say no more than that Mary was still alive at the time of the crucifixion.

Catholic AnswerAs mentioned above, we do not know. We do not even know if she died, the Eastern Church refers to this as her Dormition, which means "falling asleep". All we know for sure is that when she ended her life (however that may have happened) she was assumed, body and soul, into heaven. Many theologians speculate that she never actually died, as death is a punishment for original sin, and Mary, being Immaculately Conceived was free of Original Sin, thus they argue that she did not fittingly suffer death - but we do not know this for sure. Nor do we know the year she was assumed.

This information has not been recorded for posterity, and if it had been, the calendar system would have been very differently structured
