John 19:26-27 states:
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple (John) took her into his home.
The minutes of the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus in 431 A.D. indicate that four or six years after the death and resurrection of Jesus, John and the Virgin Mary came together to Ephesus, and for a short time stayed in the building, a section of which is now under Church of the Virgin Mary today.
Later John moved the Virgin Mary to a house he had prepared for her on Bulbul Dagi (Bulbul Hill). She lived there until the end of her earthly life.
St. John of Damascus (P. G., I, 96) later wrote:
St. Juvenal, Bishop of Jerusalem, at the Council of Chalcedon (451), made known to the Emperor Marcian and Pulcheria, who wished to possess the body of the Mother of God, that Mary died in the presence of all the Apostles, but that her tomb, when opened, upon the request of St. Thomas, was found empty; wherefrom the Apostles concluded that the body was taken up to heaven.
Therefore Catholics believe in the assumption of the body of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven after her death.
With love in Christ.

There is no grave site for the Blessed Mother. She was assumed into heaven.
Certainly, had she died,and been buried her grave site would be a popular pilgrimage.
We know from the writings of the early Church Father's that it was always believed that she was assumed into heaven.

Two claimed sites: one in Ephesus in Turkey and one at the Church of the Dormition in Jerusalem. No place claims Mary's body or body (Ist Class relics) parts or bones because Catholics believe in the Bodily Assumption of Mary and no Pre-Reformation Christian seems to have believed her body was left down here to rot.

Glastonbury England, the ancestral lands of her husband Joseph Ha Rama Theo (Arimethea which means His Divine Holiness), the Sadducean crown prince of the true line of Judah.
Around the 15th/16th Century the grave site was totally destroyed and no one know what happened to the black marble grave. All that remains is the ruins of the chapel.
Of course, in popular folklore, Joseph became "Arthur" and Mary "Guenevere".
++Can it be proven?++
Of course not. The Catholic Church has long since hidden any true records concerning the family of Jesus. Why?
Because Jesus formed the Nazarenes

The Vatican has known for almost 2000 years that it was Paul of Tarsus, not Jesus who founded christianity.

There is no burial site.,
Ask here: www.Catholic.com
No country has ever claimed to have the burial site of our blessed Mother. If she was buried, that town would have been quick to take credit for being her burial site,
Good Luck and God Bless!

She was taken up to Heaven and she is not moldering away in some grave like people think. If they know how to be kind to their Mother what makes them think Jesus would do less for his Mother?

She doesn't have one. There has been no credible claim, yet.
