The early Christians carefully preserved the graves and relics of the bodies of holy people who died. There are relics of the apostles, and tens of thousands of martyrs.

No one in history has ever claimed to possess a relic from the body of Mary.

Explain to me why not.

Hmmm. Well, her grave could have been unmarked to keep people from trying to rob it...

Hmmm. She died and was buried and her bones turned to dust...

Hmmm. She could have perished at sea...

Hmmm. Could be almost any reason that is FAR more likely than the farce made up by Catholicism.

Cause then they couldn’t claim she was assumed and that would destroy that doctrine and they’d have to admit they were wrong.

Do you honestly think there is evidence left of every Biblical person?
