So in sunday school we heard the story of st.mary's death. It was not mentioned in the bible but it was mentioned in some aincent  boharic texts. I was wondering if anyone had any english or arabic translations

    Most of the story is referenced in the Synaxarium, and also in the Apocryphal Gospel of St. James.

    In the last 5-6 yrs, there was a translation printed in Coptic Church Review.  They are based in East Brunswick, NJ.

    If you wish to study in some depth, here is a website with the texts, in English, of the ancient tradition...

    I never knew an alexandrian tradition ever mentioned a physical resurrection of St Mary, or did i misread what St Theodosius wrote..can someone please explain? I always assumed her dead body was caught up into paradise untill the day of the general resurrection???
