As word spread amongst the Christians, they all began to gather to be with Our Panagia. God also granted the heartfelt request of His Most Holy Mother, for she wished to see all the Apostles together again and be with them during her Blessed Repose. At this time they were travelling around the World, preaching the Gospel of Christ to the ends of the Earth. By the Prayers of the Theotokos, the Apostles were each caught up by the Holy Spirit in a cloud and taken to receive her Motherly blessing and be with her. Our Panagia said to them: “Peace to you, brethren, chosen by the Lord Himself.”
“O you Apostles from far off, being gathered together, in the village of Gethsemane, lay my body in burial, and You, my Son, and my God, receive now my Spirit from me.”
