Mary, the Birthgiver of God, reposed when she was 59. Her Son came personally to take her soul and her body was transposed in heaven three days later. Here we see her Son, the Godman Jesus, holding her soul as a baby.  Around Mary's bed are the Apostles. (Monastery of St. Cathreen, Sinai Mt. 13th century).
