Catholics do not believe that Mary died. She was taken up to heaven body and soul. Her bones were never found. The apostles were very close to her, after Jesus died and rose and ascended to Heaven. When it was at the end of Mary's days on earth, her body disappeared. There have never been any remains of Mary found to be buried. And I guarantee that the apostles would have buried her according to Jewish law.

So are you saying that Mary was taken up into Heaven like Enoch or Elijah? I still don't get why she is an intercessor when Jesus would do just fine.
