By command to John the Evangelist he would stay with him, his brother James and their mother Salome, a relative of the Virgin Mary. Her life flowed into pain waiting for the moment she would meet her only - begotten Son. Three days before her departure, Archangel Gabriel announced that the time had come to finish her earthly life. She prayed on the Mount of Olives and returned to John’s home. According to tradition the Apostles who were in different places preaching the Gospel were transferred in front of the bed that she was waiting for lying down in her sleep. With them came Dionysius Areopagite, St. Jerome, Apostle Timothy, and many more Hierarchs. The original of the specific image of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is located in the Monastery of Stavronikita of Mount Athos, made by Theophanes the Cretan, in 1546 m.E.
