The House of the Virgin Mary Highlights:
The House of the Virgin Mary, located near Ephesus, is believed to be the final home of Mary, the mother of Jesus. According to tradition, St. John the Apostle brought Mary to Ephesus after the crucifixion of Christ, where she spent her last years. The modest stone house was discovered in the 19th century based on the visions of a German nun, Anne Catherine Emmerich, and has since become a major pilgrimage site for both Christians and Muslims. It holds great spiritual significance as a place of worship and reflection, symbolizing the connection between Christianity and the region.
For Christians, the House of the Virgin Mary is a holy site, officially recognized by the Catholic Church. It’s also significant to Muslims, as Mary (Meryem) is honored as the mother of a prophet in Islam. The house and its serene surroundings provide a peaceful atmosphere for prayer and meditation. Visitors often leave prayers at the "Wishing Wall" and collect holy water from the site's springs, adding to the spiritual experience.
