Death of Eve
When Eve was dead, the archangel Michael stood beside her. Three angels came and took her body and buried it where the body of Abel was. The archangel Michael said to Seth that every man who dies should be buried thus until the day of the resurrection.
After having given this law, Michael told Seth not to mourn beyond six days, and on the seventh day to rest and rejoice because in it God and the angels rejoice in the righteous soul that has departed from earth. Having thus spoken, the archangel Michael went up into heaven, glorifying and saying the Alleluia: Holy, holy, holy Lord, to the glory of God the Father, because to Him is due glory, honour, and adoration, with His unbeginning and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and to ages of ages.
Did You Know?
Eve died six days after God and the holy angels laid Adam in his tomb.
She did not know where Adam lay, because she and her children slept while he was buried, all except Seth.
Eve prayed not to be separated from the body of Adam, since God had made her from his members.
Her last words were "God of all, receive my spirit," spoken as she stood looking up to heaven.
Three angels buried her where the body of Abel was, and Michael told Seth not to mourn beyond six days.
