This goes into incredible detail. I did not know about the Apostles not finding the body in the grave or the appearance of Mary to the Apostles. Interesting.
“For three days they did not depart from the place of burial, praying and chanting Psalms. Through the wise providence of God, the Apostle Thomas was not to be present at the burial of the Mother of God. Arriving late on the third day at Gethsemane, he lay down at the tomb and with bitter tears asked that he might be permitted to look once more upon the Mother of God and bid her farewell. The Apostles out of heartfelt pity for him decided to open the grave and permit him the comfort of venerating the holy relics of the Ever-Virgin Mary. Having opened the grave, they found in it only the grave wrappings and were thus convinced of the bodily ascent of the Most Holy Virgin Mary to Heaven.
“On the evening of the same day, when the Apostles had gathered at a house to strengthen themselves with food, the Mother of God appeared to them and said: Rejoice! I am with you all the days of your lives. This so gladdened the Apostles and everyone with them, that they took a portion of the bread, set aside at the meal in memory of the Savior (the Lords Portion), and they exclaimed : Most Holy Theotokos, save us. (This marks the beginning of the rite of offering up the Panagia (All-Holy), a portion of bread in honor of the Mother of God, which is done at monasteries to the present day).”
‘they exclaimed : Most Holy Theotokos, save us.’
The apostles are the last people on earth who would have asked a fellow human being to save them. This account is a myth.
