The story of the ascension of the Virgin Mary

One day, the archangel Gabriel came down from the sky and told the Virgin Mary that she would soon be accepted by the kingdom of heaven, and gave her a date palm branch in heaven to put on the bed when she died. All the people who heard that the virgin was going to die gathered together and begged the virgin not to leave. The virgin advised them not to be sad, because she will go to the throne of the Lord and see her son, and will better pray for all, help and bless them. The Virgin told her to be buried beside the Mount of Olives in the village of Gethsemane, because his parents and Joseph were buried there.

On August 15th, the Virgin lay peacefully on the beautiful bed, and suddenly a divine light appeared. Accompanied by an angel, Jesus went to the Virgin and said, "Come, my close friend, come into the repository of eternal life!" The virgin rose to worship Jesus and told him that she was ready. Say that finish safely passed away.
