euthymius

Updated: June 12, 2025

Early writers mention the Garden of Gethsemani as the place of Mary's burial and the third year some say the twelfth year after our Lord's death as the year of her death. St. John Damascene relying on the writings of Euthymius tells us what we know of the Assumption. The Blessed Mother had been buried there, in the Garden of Gethsemani, in the presence of the Apostles, Thomas alone being absent.
