THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY - MOTHER OF JESUS
The Assumption of Mary is different, from an Ascension, for it is said her body was taken up to Heaven at the end of her life on earth. This would mean her body and soul were not separated.
Many ask was Mary dead when she was Assumed by God into Heaven?
Pope Pius XII - Confirmed The Assumption of Mary, on November 1, 1950 as part of his Apostolic Constitution, Munificentissimus Deus.
August 15, 2004 - Pope John Paul II stated- John 14:3 as proof, during his speech at Lourdes.
This was known as an infallible statement, the first one since there was a ruling on papal infallibility made between 1869 and 1870 during the First Vatican Council.
John Chapter 14:1-4 ''In my Father's house are many mansions ...I will come again...''
1: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2: In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4: And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

This is how it was said by Pope John Paul II
"By the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own authority, we pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory".
RESURRECTION OF THE BODY
A most important quote from within The New Testament
1 Corinthians 15:50 The Kingdom Of God
50: Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
The word Assumption, in later translations, depending on which Holy Bible you read, is often interchanged with the words Ascension, and received. In Latin, Assumption is written assumptio, which means, taken up.
Saint Epiphanius of Salamis wrote in 377 A.D. that no one knew whether Mary had died or not.
What about the Apocrypha? There have been many Apocryphs which claim the Assumption, but these were not in circulation until the 4th century after Christ. Unfortunately, many of the earlier documents are no longer surviving. One which survived is The Book of Mary's Repose, which is written in Ethiopian. This also is thought to be from the 4th century A.C.
They first thought that one of the most interesting accounts of Mary's Assumption was written by Saint Melito of Sardis. He was the bishop of Sardis, which is Near Smyrna.
He was known as a great authority on the beginning of Christianity. Having lived so close to the time of Christ, his work was respected. Saint Melitio of Sardis, died in 180 A.C. Sardis is part of the Lydian Empire.
However, De Transitu Virginis, thought to have been written by Saint Melito of Sardis, was actually written in the late 5th century.
The Catholic Encyclopedia says 'the belief in the corporeal assumption of Mary is founded on the apocryphal treatise De Obitu S. Dominae, bearing the name of St. John, which belongs however to the fourth or fifth century. It is also found in the book De Transitu Virginis, falsely ascribed to St. Melito of Sardis, and in a spurious letter attributed to St. Denis the Areopagite.'
There are two cities which say Mary was there when she was Assumed by God.
Jerusalem and Ephesus. Jerusalem houses her tomb, but other scholars say it is in Ephesus. For the first six hundred years after Christ, Mary's Tomb was unknown.
There is a story told of the Apostles being brought by white clouds to Mary's bed as she laid dying. According to this story, the Apostles were preaching at the time, and were transported from these villages.
Therefore, let us look closer at several discoveries, which may or may not point to Mary's Assumption.
The Priscilla Catacomb which is in Rome, Italy, is filled with cave paintings from early Christianity. One area within these catacombs, which they find interesting is known as the 'Greek Chapel'. Here there are frescoes depicting scenes from The Old and New Testament. Included is the Last Judgment. There are paintings of the Prophet Isiah, and one of a Madonna and child, which is thought to be Mary with the infant Jesus. These date from the 2nd century, A.D. These are the oldest paintings known of Mary, Jesus, and a standing man who has the symbol of a Messiah above his head, which is a star. And Priscilla, has the depiction of the annunciation.
There are many claims but what is the truth? Eastern Christians, and the Muslims believe in Mary's Tomb
Mary's Tomb
Mary's Tomb is said to be in Kidron Valley, on the foothills of the Mount of Olives, in the area of Gethsemane. The Eastern Christians believe this to be her resting place. They call Mary, Theotokos.
It is known Mary lived in the area of Ephesus, but there are often discussions about how long she actually lived there. It is thought that she lived in this area for several years. There is a house there, which they have named The House of the Virgin Mary.
In The New Testament there is little written about Mary, after Jesus Resurrected, but it is said later there were Apocrypha, which have written within, sections about Mary which include her death.
These are many, but most date between the 3rd and 4th centuries A.C.
They chose to leave these Apocryphs out of The Holy Bible, for there are branches of the Christian church in disagreement over these works.
These are the texts of The Nag Hammadi Library, which were discovered in Egypt. These codexes would take a lifetime to study, and should not be discounted, based on the decisions of the men who put together The New Testament. For example, the Book of John the Theologian, written in the 3rd Century, about Mary, places Mary's tomb in Gethsemane.
It is also written, in The Catholic Encyclopedia,that 'St. Juvenal, Bishop of Jerusalem, at the Council of Chalcedon (451), made known to the Emperor Marcian and Pulcheria, who wished to possess the body of the Mother of God,, that Mary died in the presence of all the Apostles, but that her tomb, when opened, upon the request of St. Thomas, was found empty; where from the Apostles concluded that the body was taken up to heaven. '
Today, the belief in the corporeal assumption of Mary is universal in the East and in the West; according to Benedict XIV (De Festis B.V.M., I, viii, 18) it is a probable opinion, which to deny were impious and blasphemous.
