sentences:  Orthodox Christians believe Mary received her resurrection early near after her death (see Dormition of the Mother of God), while Roman Catholics generally believe that Mary was assumed, body and soul without death or the need for resurrection, into Heaven, referred to as the Assumption of Mary.This could make her a "heavenly mother" of sorts, as she gave birth to Jesus, and was confirmed to bear the title "Theotokos" ("giver of birth to God") at the Council of Ephesus in AD 431.However, she is more often referred to as "Our Mother", since Christians alike refer to themselves as "Brothers and Sisters in Christ".
