INVITATION OF JESUS
 
   

People are invited to participate in the probably most important ceremony since 1992. Beside Jesus' cross stood His mother, His aunt, Klopa's wife Mary and Mary Magdalena. As He saw that His mother and His favourite scholar had arrived, he spoke to His mother: "See, this is your son" and to His scholar: "see, this is your mother " After this moment this scholar, St. John, took Mother Mary with him ( the Holy Bible John, 1925-27 ) He brought her to Ephesus, where she remained in her house at the Bülbül mountain until her death.

On July 26, 1967 Pope Paul VI. payed a visit to the House of Virgin Mary. He spoke the prayers Angelos and Credo and gave a bronze candleholder as a gift. On 30 November 1979, Pope Jean Paul II came to this holy place. He held a mass and declared the House of Mother Mary as a place of worship.

Take part in the mass to be held at Mother Mary's House in 2000 and celebrate Jesus 2000th birthday with us.
