Before leaving the world, Mary wanted to say goodbye to the disciples of Jesus. Diverged around the world, as if at the behest of the Lord the apostles appeared to Mary's deathbed on the last day of her life. After the ascent, the Mother of God was placed in a cave and covered by an entrance with a heavy stone. The apostles spent three more days at her tomb, reading prayers for the repose. Then came Thomas, grieved by being late. When the apostles removed the stone, in order to admit Thomas to the tomb of the Mother of God, the cave was empty.
