The Virgin Mary: What Happened to Her After the Death of Jesus and How She Died

The Greek word homothymadon, "one accord," showing Mary listed as one worshipper among the congregation rather than set above it. Why the Bible records other deaths in detail, such as Stephen, Judas, and John the Baptist, but gives Mary no death scene or burial account. Mary's last recorded words at Cana in John 2:5, "Whatever He says to you, do it," and
