Ephesus & the House of Mary

Where Early Christianity Took Root

HomePilgrimagesEphesus & the House of Mary
Overview

Visiting the House of the Virgin Mary on Mount Koressos, the ancient ruins of Ephesus, and the sites where John and Mary are believed to have lived out their final years.

Reflection
The House of Mary is one of the most quietly powerful places we've ever visited. No crowds, no noise — just a small stone house on a hillside where tradition says Our Lady spent her last years. We lit candles and prayed the Rosary. It's a place that stays with you.
