Like King, I have also wondered what happened with Mary after Christ’s ascencion as she is not mentioned in the book of Acts. This is surprising considering her story as a faithful disciple of Jesus. King suggests that Mary is not mentioned due to the “patriarchal powers” in charge of canonization that hoped to discourage such female leadership as lived out by Mary (recorded in the Gospel of Mary). As much as I don’t understand why so many issues of great importance are left unclear in Scripture, I trust in God’s sovereignty as the power behind canonization.
