But, where in the Bible do you find the concept of asking dead friends and relatives, plus saints and Mary to interceed for you? I doubt you will find any scripture that encourage this practice, or even indicates that it is possible for you to do so.
It's in the second book of Macabees, which was expunged from most "Reformist" Bibles.
