MARY'S HOUSE

Jesus entrusted Mary into John's care.  There was a large Christian community at Ephesus so John brought Mary there.  Fearing for her safety, John had a house built on Mt Koressos which is near Ephesus.  More information can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_the_Virgin_Mary
It is a very quiet, beautiful and peaceful place.
 The grounds to Mary's House.                                  

The entrance to Mary's House.                                      
                                       
   You exit here and then follow the path down to the spring and past the wall where pilgrims write their intentions on paper and place them in the wall.
