What to expect
Ephesus is an important place in Christian history as it is recognized as the final residence of Mother Mary. During the second half of the first century Christians were heavily persecuted under the Roman rule. According to tradition after the crucifixion of Jesus, St John did bring Mother Mary to Ephesus with him to hide escape persecution.

Outside the house is a “wishing wall” which pilgrims have used by tying their personal intentions on paper or fabric.
