An Empty Tomb and a Site Full of Faith: Where Was the Virgin Mary Buried?
The Virgin Mary is one of the world most famous women from the ancient world. The teachings of her son surpassed her life story, but her tale provides one of the greatest legends about a mother’s love. Nowadays, it’s hard to find real artifacts that are said to be left by the Virgin Mother, but there is one place which is still traditionally associated with her.
There is a tomb at the foot of the Mount of Olives in the Kidron Valley in Jerusalem which is traditionally said to be Mary’s burial location. There are at least two versions of her story associated with this– one from the Bible and second from the Jewish ancient book Toledot Yeshu. Although the texts have some differences, they claim that Mary (or Miriam) was the mother of Joshua – also known as Jesus Christ.
Fact or Fiction?
Legends say that Mary died of natural causes. As the Dormition of Theotokos wrote, she passed away like she was falling asleep. It is unknown how old she was when she died. However, according to some writings, her body was resurrected and, like her son, on the third day her soul and body went to heaven. Her tomb was said to be discovered empty three days after her funeral.

The Catholic Encyclopedia asserts that the earliest resources talking about Mary suggest that her life ended in Jersusalem:
