At the third Ecumenical Council on 431 AD in Ephesus, it was claimed that Mary came to Ephesus with St. John in 37 A.D. and lived there until her death in 48 A.D. After the discovery of the house, the Archbishop of Izmir declared there as a place of pilgrimage in 1892. On July 26, 1967, Pope Paul VI visited this place and prayed there

5.00We had a wonderful time today with Arzu! She met us at the port, and we had an air conditioned van waiting for us. She gave us an overview of the city including history before heading to the Virgin Mary house. We learned so much along the way which was great. We then went to the ancient city of Ephesus. Every where we skipped the line which was amazing. I loved learning about Ephesus and seeing the terrace houses. She recommended a great place for us for lunch! We’re so thankful we booked a private tour today! Highly recommend! Ask for Arzu!
