The chapel in the restored home of the Virgin Mary. Local history tells she came North with St. John and lived the rest of her life in this house tucked into a valley south of Ephesus. We attended what turned out to be a private morning mass here conducted by a priest and two nuns. It was a very moving experience. The priest was from India and one of the nuns was from San Francisco. Near ancient Ephesus, Turkey.
