Amendments to the text of the Synaxarium of the Feast of St. Mary


Correction of some of the errors that are present in the previous editions of the Synaxarium, such as what is said in the Feast of the Assumption of the Body of the Virgin that her body has sat at the right hand of the Lord Christ in the Heavens.

  1. Delete the sentences starting with the phrase, “and she sat at the right” until the phrase, “the Queen sat at the right hand of the King”. Also, from the phrase, “after 12 years passed” until the phrase, “this is your mother”.
  2. Also, the addition of the [following] underlined words and the deletion of the word “when” in the following phrase: “and Thomas the Apostle was not present at the time of her departure, he was in India when at the time of her burial, so he saw in a vision her pure body with the angles ascending with it”.
