Where is THAT in the bible?

DORMITION & ASSUMPTION – JOHN DAMASCENE

St. John Damascene

John Damascene is one of the strongest witnesses from the days of the Church Fathers, to the doctrine of the Dormition and bodily Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the end of her earthly life. This homily is cited by Pope Pius XII in his definition of the Assumption as a Dogma of faith.

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

Its a greek orthodox belief (i believe)
fr said at mass this morning for the Assumption that the greek orthodox churches dont celebrate the assumption but instead they celebrate their feast of the dormition - mary's "falling asleep"

so we're wondering why he mentions another denomination's alternative celebration? during our Feast of the Assumption?

the mind boggles
"He who followeth Me, walketh not in darkness." sayeth the Lord
