The House of Virgin Mary is believed to be the place where Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent her final years according to the Christian faith. The house is located on the slopes of Mount Koressos near the ancient city of Ephesus. It is believed that Mary lived here after the crucifixion of Jesus and also died here. It is considered a holy place for Christians.
The history of the House of Virgin Mary is associated with many beliefs and legends in Christianity. According to some sources, the house was discovered by monks during a period of persecution of Christians by the Romans. The House of Virgin Mary was first discovered and recognized by a priest named Abbé Julien Gouyet in the 19th century.
The House of Virgin Mary was rebuilt in the 6th century by Byzantine Emperor Justinian II to be located within a monastery. However, it was later abandoned and forgotten. After it was rediscovered in the 19th century, the house was restored.
Today, the House of Virgin Mary is a place that many Christian pilgrims visit each year. They come to pray, write their prayers and hang them on the walls of the house, and seek healing. In addition, every year on August 15th, the "Feast of the Assumption of Mary" is celebrated which marks the death of Mary.
