If the Virgin Mary was the product of the Immaculate Conception in order for Jesus to have a pure vessel, and God allowed her to be born with a soul that was free of Original Sin, and Original Sin is why we are mortal...
Why did she eventually die?
*************
M*W: This was an invention by the early church to hide the fact that the "mariams" ['rebellious women'] were temple prostitutes involved in what was called the "sacred marriage." "We must consider the possibility that each of the women [named 'Mary'] in the genealogy [of Jesus], including [Jesus' mother] Mary, was a sacred prostitute, a "qdesha," the holy woman who became the high priestess of the Sacred Marriage."
"There is a work called the "Assumption of the Virgin , openly condemned through the Decretum Gelasianum. Its description of her death and burial strips away another layer of the facade, the high regard in which Mary is presumed to have been held."
"The Assumption of the Virgin seems to be the first known attempt to explain the transitus,, Mary's alteration at death from an earthly to a celestial state. In spite of hostility towards it, the work had a massive effect on Christian belief and practice from about the fourth century onwards. Some biblical scholars have attributed the standard Greek text to St. John the Evangelist but its provenance is largely unknown. It was copied extensively in both Greek and Latin. The story covers the death of Mary in Jerusalem surrounded by the virgins who seem to have attended her throughout her life. It reveals an unusual incident that took place as the funeral party was making its way to the burial ground."
