Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House)

The House of the Virgin Mary, also known as Meryemana in Turkish, is a religious and pilgrimage site located near Ephesus, in modern-day Turkey. According to Catholic and Orthodox tradition, it is believed that the Virgin Mary spent her final years in this house after the death of Jesus Christ. While the Bible does not explicitly mention the existence of the House of Mary in Ephesus, some religious scholars point to biblical passages suggesting that Mary lived with the Apostle John in Ephesus. The site gained prominence in the 19th century after the visions of a German nun, Anne Catherine Emmerich, who described the location of Mary's house in Ephesus. This led to the discovery of a small stone house in the area, which was later identified as the House of the Virgin Mary.
