Christ Takes her Body to Paradise and Resurrects Her There.
47. Then they brought Blessed Mary’s body before the tomb and spent three days there. The apostles were discussing the teaching of the Savior with one another. And as they were speaking, the Lord Jesus came on clouds with angels and archangels. 48-49. And he took up the apostles in the clouds with Mary’s body, and they brought them to Paradise and laid down Mary’s [body].
50. Then the Lord received her soul from the hands of the archangel Michael and restored it to Mary’s body. Then, when Blessed Mary arose on her feet, she walked, and the angels sang hymns. The apostles, however, [were returned by the clouds] each to his own place, glorifying the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit to whom is honor and glory and power unto the ages of ages. Amen.
