How Did The Virgin Mary Die?

1. If Christ died, it would be difficult to argue the opposite as regards his mother.

San Juan Damasceno asks himself: “How is it possible that she who in childbirth exceeded all the limits of nature, now fold to her laws and her immaculate body submits to death ?. And he replies: “Certainly, it was necessary that he strip himself of the mortal part in order to put on immortality, since the Lord of nature did not avoid the experience of death either.

In effect, he dies according to the flesh and with his death destroys death, transforms corruption into incorruptibility and death into a source of resurrection “( Panegírico sobre la dormición de la Madre de Dios , 10: SC 80, 107).
