The House of Virgin Mary in Ephesus is a Catholic and Muslim shrine located on Mt.Koressos nearby Selcuk village in the province of İzmir. Its discovery in Turkey was in the 19th century by lowing the descriptions in the reported visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich, who was a Roman Catholic and and a visionary. It is believed by Catholics that Mary, the mother of Jesus, had spent her final year in this stone house. She may have got the area together with Saint John who spent several years in the area to spread Christianity. Mary preferred to seclude herself from the crowd by spending her last days at the place.
This simple stone-building known as The House of Virgin Mary looks more like a church today than a house. It offers you a peaceful and serene atmosphere hidden in green, surrounded by pine trees and singing birds which makes you feel like you are surely on a holy ground. It has been visited not only by Christian pilgrims but also Muslim communities who honor Mary as the mother of their prophet.
