Is the Assumption of Mary in the Bible?

Have you ever wondered why Catholics believe in the Assumption of Mary when it's not explicitly in the Bible? Why do Catholics honor Mary? Why do Catholics believe things not in the Bible? What is Sacred Tradition in the Catholic Church?

The answer lies in understanding what the first Christians believed and what was passed down before we had bibles.

From the earliest centuries, Christians celebrated Mary’s Assumption, with written accounts as early as the 2nd–3rd century and liturgical feasts by the 5th century. The New Testament itself wasn’t finalized until AD 393 at the Council of Hippo. For centuries before that, the Gospel was handed down orally by the apostles and their successors, just as John tells us that not everything Jesus said or did was written down (John 21:25).

In this video, you’ll discover:

✝️ The Biblical and historical roots of Marian beliefs

✝️ Why “Bible alone” isn’t a Biblical teaching

✝️ How the early Church understood Mary’s role in salvation history

Why the Assumption has been part of Christian faith since the beginning

Whether you’re Catholic, Christian from another tradition, or simply curious, this will help you see why the Church has always honored the Mother of God and how the Assumption points us to our own hope of heaven.
