- Only in the narratives of the Nativity and the Passion of Christ is her place a significant one: her acceptance of the privilege conferred on her in the Annunciation is the solemn prologue to the Christmas story, and, not only does she stand at the foot of the cross, but in the Easter story “the other Mary” who came to the tomb of Jesus (Matthew 28:1) is not she—according to traditional interpretations, because, having kept in her heart what he was to be, she knew that the body of Jesus would...

Aug 2, 2011 · Mary was the mother of Jesus. Christians believe she was made pregnant miraculously by God while she was still a virgin. In this section, six academic experts explain what we know about her...
Jul 7, 2010 · The answer lies within the question. Jesus's mission on earth required that all events be fulfilled exactly as we have them. This includes His submission to a fully human life. Had Mary known the complete mission from the beginning—that He was fully God and fully man—the human side could never have been fulfilled.

- She was an accidental virgin. The gospel of Matthew is the only one to tell us Mary was pregnant before she and Joseph had sex. She was said to be “with child from the Holy Spirit”.
- She was a perpetual virgin. Within early Christian doctrine, Mary remained a virgin during and after the birth of Jesus. This was perhaps only fitting for someone deemed “the mother of God” or “God-bearer”.
- She was immaculately conceived. Within Western theology, it was generally recognised from the time of Saint Ambrose that Mary never committed a sin. But was her sinlessness in this life because she was born without “original sin”?
- She ascended into heaven. The early centuries of the Christian tradition were silent on the death of Mary. But by the seventh and eighth centuries, the belief in the bodily ascension of Mary into heaven, had taken a firm hold in both the Western and Eastern Churches.
Why did the angels ask Mary, "Woman, why are you weeping" (John 20:13)? Mary had been told Jesus has risen from the dead, so she should have been rejoicing, not weeping. What does Mary's response to them indicate about them?
Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. The Bible last mentions Mary, the mother of Jesus, when the Holy Spirit came upon her (and many others) on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1–4). After that, we hear nothing else about Mary in the Bible. Mary most likely lived out her remaining years in John’s home, according to John 19:27. We don’t know where exactly John lived.
Whether Mary died or not is not defined dogmatically, however, although a reference to the death of Mary is made in Munificentissimus Deus. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is believed, and celebrated with her Dormition, where they believe she died.
The conclusion is we just don’t know what happened to Mary after the crucifixion. We do know that she became part of the New Testament church and that the Apostle John cared for her. That is basically the extent of what we know about Mary after the cross.
