EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the humble abode of The Virgin Mary's House, nestled on the slopes of Mount Koressos near Ephesus, Turkey. Discovered in 1871, the house has long been a site of pilgrimage for Christians and non-Christians alike, drawing visitors from around the world. The origins of the discovery are rooted in the visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich, a German nun who experienced vivid and detailed visions of Mary's final days in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Emmerich described the house in great detail, including its location on a hill, its stone construction, and the presence of a bell. These descriptions closely matched the house that was eventually unearthed in Turkey. The house itself is a simple, stone building, with a bell hanging from a tree nearby. The peaceful surroundings, dotted with olive trees and overlooking the lush valley below, add to the serene atmosphere. The site is now a popular destination for those seeking spiritual reflection and connection to the past. Mary, also known as Meryem in Turkish, is revered by Christians as the mother of Jesus, and this house is believed to be where she spent her final days. The significance of the site extends beyond religious pilgrimage, however, as it also represents the rich cultural heritage of Turkey and the enduring power of faith and spirituality.
