 Divine Liturgy was conducted on that day by Jesus Christ himself designating St. Peter as assistant Priest and Deacon Stephen (who descended from Heaven for the event) as an Arch Deacon.At the end of the Divine Liturgy Jesus Christ gave the Apostles Holy Communion (Qurban in Ge'ez), after which He ordered the apostles to preach and witness the Resurrection and Assumption of His Mother Saint Mary throughout the world.While the exact date is debated among different Churches the author Hippolytus of Thebes claimed as part of his chronology to the New Testament that Saint Mary lived for 11 years after the death of Jesus, dying in AD 41.
