You seem to be confusing the Ascension with the Assumption.
Not a difficult slip to make, by the way.
The Ascension was Jesus in the presence of the Apostles, rising into the air and being obscured by moving clouds, in silence. It's in the Bible.
The Assumption refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary, after having been buried (probably in a sarcophagus), was found by the apostles to have been taken up, body and soul, in silence, into heaven. The exact specifics of this event are not spelled out in Scripture, however, and therefore merely reading the Bible will not answer your questions. Also, people who read the Bible, even regularly, might be subject to making this mistake of confusing the Ascension with the Assumption.
was that for me, or lightman? :)
We celebrated The Assumption of Mary yesterday.
However, I do admit, when I replied to lightman, I hadn't "caffeinated" my veins yet :)
I hope you both had a Blessed day!
