>>But they know she was "assumed" into heaven<<

It's amazing isn't it? Not one writer thought her important enough to even record anything about her after Pentecost. Absolutely no information about her from either secular or religious writers. Yet hundreds of years later they begin to claim she was assumed into heaven. The Catholic Church even claims a "home she lived in" where they charge people to see and sell "relics" and souvenirs and that only on the word of some lady who supposedly had a "vision" some hundreds of years after. Some Catholics celebrate the feast of the dormision yet others claim they don't know if she died or not. It's beyond bizarre that people would put their eternal destiny in the faith of that organization.

And here is a picture I took of the souvonier stand. Note the Turkish evil eye being sold right under Mary. They find a way to get money from everyone!
