In the 19th century, a German nun, Catherine Emmerich, had a vision of the Virgin's dwelling at Ephesus. Priests discover the house that matches his description. In 1967, the Pope visited the site and confirmed the veracity of the vision. Since then, pilgrims from all over the world have flocked to the humble house, transformed into a chapel. A service is celebrated on 15 August by Orthodox Christians and Muslims. No dolmuş for the journey: your legs or the taxi.

La Maison de la Vierge Marie est un sanctuaire catholique et musulman sur la colline de Bülbül Dag près d'Éphèse, à sept kilomètres de Selçuk (aujourd'hui en Turquie). Une tradition syrienne jacobite raconte que Marie fut emmenée en ce lieu par Jean l'Évangéliste après la crucifixion du Christ, fuyant la persécution à Jérusalem, que Jean lui fit construire une petite maison où Marie demeura jusqu'à son Assomption, ou Dormition selon les orthodoxes.

La confrontation des données de l'archéologie et de la tradition syriaque permettent d'établir que ce sanctuaire tient d'une légende1, ce qui ne l'empêche pas d'être devenu un lieu de pèlerinage et de tourisme important.
