Oh my gosh, that last mural is surely the Dormition / Assumption of Mary. If I am correct it’s the oldest one I’ve seen.
Pray for us, O Lady Theotokos!

Pray for us, O Lady Theotokos! I count nine apostles with her coffin, and two other apostles (or angels ?) in the air. Traditionally all were there except Thomas. I wonder if names are linked to the likenesses. All generations will call Miriam/Mary blessed.

I thought the same thing. So many people have disagreed with the notion that a lot of people were there. This ancient icon proves it.
