“For those who deny the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary: How do you explain the total absence of any reputed relics of the B.V.M. in all of Church history? If the early Christians did not believe in the Assumption, wouldn’t there have been real and/or reputed relics somewhere? And if the early Christians DID believe in the Assumption, why don’t you?”
Could it be that they didn’t worry about “relics” during the first century? Could it be that they didn’t deify Mary even though she was the mother of Christ?
Could it be that Mary being a Jew, was buried according to custom and then her bones moved and mingled with those of her husband?
Christ is the deity, not Mary.
Good insight.
