In some versions of the story the event is said to have taken place in [[Ephesus]], in the [[House of the Virgin Mary]], although this is a much more recent and localized tradition. The earliest traditions all locate the end of Mary's life in [[Jerusalem]] (see "[[Mary's Tomb]]"). By the 7th century a variation emerged, according to which one of the apostles, often identified as [[Thomas (apostle)|St Thomas]], was not present at the death of Mary, but his late arrival precipitates a reopening of Mary's tomb, which is found to be empty except for her grave clothes. In a later tradition, Mary drops her [[girdle]] down to the apostle from heaven as testament to the event.<ref>[http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf08.vii.xliii.html#vii.xliii-Page_594 Ante-Nicene Fathers - ''The Writings of the Fathers Down to A.D. 325''], vol. 8 page 594</ref> This incident is depicted in many later paintings of the Assumption.
The Assumption of Mary became an established teaching across the Eastern, Western, Coptic and Oriental churches from at least the late 7th Century, the festival date settling at August 15th. Theological debate about the Assumption continued, following the Reformation, climaxing in 1950 when Pope [[Pius XII]] defined it as dogma for the Roman Catholic Church.<ref name = "Vatican-deus_en"> Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus, no 44 [http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/pius_xii/apost_constitutions/documents/hf_p-xii_apc_19501101_munificentissimus-deus_en.html]</ref> The Roman Catholic Church claims that this doctrine is not founded on the apocryphal accounts as having any authority, nor that the church bases its teaching about the Assumption on them, but rather on the historic teaching of the Church down the centuries. However Protestant theologians reject such arguments as semantics; that apocryphal accounts did in fact become the basis for such church teachings, which were then set forth as dogma. They cite the fact that the idea did not gain acceptance in the church until the [[sixth century]], after Gregory of Tours accepted the apocryphal work "Transitus Beatae Mariae"<ref>[http://www.christiantruth.com/assumption.html Christian Resources
