There is no mention of her life OR HER DEATH there is certainly no mention of her "assumption"
Seeing that the OT faithfully records Elijah but fails to mention such a" momentous occasion "as the assumption of the mother of Christ is noteworthy also that it was not told to the unbelievers to reinforce the nature of Christ is also unbelievable..
In my opinion she has been made the equivalent of a goddess by the traditions put in place by the popes.. so i do not believe that is of God..
The pictures are of icons that can easily become a source of worship.. so they actually put souls in danger of idolatry .
2 Tim2:2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable menwho will also be qualified to teach others.
Not a word on tradition there.. The letters of Paul (the scriptures) contain his words passed on ..they were preserved for us so that they not be distorted..
Sort of like the Statue of Liberty, or the one of Lincoln? Or that famous portrait of Geo. Washington? Or holding above all one particular incomplete, inaccurate translation of the Holy Bible does?
Except that she was called the Mother of God and her Son called her the Mother of the Church.

You CANNOT use the lack of something to disprove its existence.

Do you belong to a Nestorian sect?

Thankfully your OPINION is wrong.
The pictures are of icons that can easily become a source of worship.. so they actually put souls in danger of idolatry .
So why aren't people DEMANDING that those particular "icons" be removed? Why were those particular "icons" even put there in the first place?

Of course there's nothing about tradition here, Saint Paul is descrbibing Apostolic Succession. Jesus Christ and the Apostles speak at length about TEACHING the Church, there is NOTHING in there about laymen interpreting scripture for themselves.
From MY POV, FWIW, "together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and his brothers," (Acts 1:14) sounds like she WAS singled out.
One more time..there is no scripture indicating the early church (during the time of the REAL apostles) revered Mary in any special way..she is not seen again or discussed beyond Pentecost, when she, like everyone on the room was given the gift of the Holy Spirit..
