Shoemaker: Is There an Oral Tradition of Mary's Assumption?

iReporter: Could there have been an oral tradition of mary's assumption to heaven that people just didn't mention? iReporter: Some texts express concern about the late arrival of this tradition. The book of revelation was accepted late in church history because it was popular among heretics like montanus, and others who believed in millennialism. This makes what john of thessalonica writes in the sevent century about the lack of feast days on the assumption much more plausible. I'm looking at a text called pseudo melito which talks about how orthodox writers are trying to sanatize these texts from heterodox ideas within them.
