After the Crucifixion of the Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary continued to live with Saint John the Theologian. She spent most of her time in Jerusalem until her death. In her old age, she often prayed to the Lord at the Ascension to take her to herself as soon as possible. The archangel Gabriel appeared to her and told her that she would repose in 3 days. She wished to see all the apostles, and they all miraculously gathered, except for the apostle Thomas. Then she reposed peacefully, without any suffering. The apostles buried her in the tomb of Saints Joachim and Anna, in the Garden of Gethsemane. On the third day, the apostle Thomas arrived. When they opened the tomb to kiss the body of the Holy Most Pure, there was no body inside, only the shroud. It is assumed that the Blessed Virgin Mary lived for more than 60 years.
