Tradition says that the Apostles gathered together one last time to venerate her before her burial. St Thomas was late. When he arrived, the Apostles had already buried her in a tomb. Thomas asked them to open the tomb so that he could venerate the Theotokos one last time as well. When they opened it, they all found that the tomb was empty and filled with the loveliest odour they had ever smelled.

This feast is one of the 12 principle feasts of the Church. Mary’s dying is not insignificant. It means that she was subject to the consequences of ancestral sin, but she lived sinlessly and was entirely devoted to the Lord. This disproves the necessity of the Roman Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Her assumption is as equally significant as her dormition. She was the first to experience the promised Resurrection of the Dead and the Life of the Age-To-Come, as confessed in the Nicene Creed.
