AnswerIn the Ascension illustration of the Rabbula Gospels,Virgin Mary symbolized the Christian Community.ExplanationAscension is the act of something rising or going up. This day is counted six weeks after Easter Sunday. In the ascension of Christ to Heaven, He is surrounded by four angels and below are apostles and Virgin Mary. Virgin Mary here has the status of the bearer of God and the mother of Christ. She symbolizes the whole Christian community on earth.

The correct answer is 3) the Christian Community.What the Virgin Mary symbolizes in the Ascension illustration of the Rabbula Gospels is the Christian Community.The Rabbula Gospels is a Syrian gospel book of the 6th century, written by Rabbula. Historians believe that he wrote the gospels in the monastery of St. John at Bet Sagba in 586. It included decoration with scenes of the biblical passages of the Crucifixion and Ascension of Jesus.The other options of the question were 1) the bearer of God. 2) holly women.

In the ascension illustration, the Virgin Mary stands in the center flanked by two angels, who apparently are addressing to the apostles the words in Acts 1:11, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven?" Thank you for posting your question here at I hope the answer will help you.
