The first place we visited is the House of Virgin Mary. It is said that the Jesus Christ asked St John to take care of his mother, and St John brought her to Ephesus and she spent the last years of her life here in a stone house. This place was discovered in 19th century. A German Nun who never left Germany described about this place and the hill of Ephesus in the book published in Germany, therefore, there were scientific expeditions and found this place as described in the book. The shrine is revered by both Christians and Muslims, and the pilgrims visit the shrine, especially on August 15 every year.
