Disclosure in Germany
At the beginning of the 19th century, Mother Catherine Emmerich, a bedridden Agustunyan nun in Germany, reports a series of views, stating that Jesus saw the last days of her life and the details of her mother Mary's life. Emmerich, who is in Dülmen's agricultural community, has been sick for a long time but is known in Germany for his mystical powers and is visited by important people.
One of Emmerich's visitors is the writer Clemens Brentano. After his first visit, he visits Emmerich every day for five years in Dülmen and writes what he saw. After Emmerich's death, Brentano prints a book based on his own collections and the second book is published after his own death.
One of Emmerich's views was the depiction of the house in which Ephesus made John in Ephesus for the mother of Jesus, where Mary lived until the end of her life. Emmerich gave a number of details about the location of the house and the topography of its surroundings.
“Mary lived not exactly in Ephesus but somewhere nearby… Mary's house was three and a half hours from Ephesus on a hill on the left on the road from Jerusalem. This hill was steeply uphill from Ephesus, the city was on a rising ground according to someone approaching from the southeast. The narrow road extends to a hill to the south, at the top of this hill there was a trapezoidal plateau that can be reached with a half-hour journey. "
Emmerich also described the details of the house: he stated that it was made of rectangular stones, the windows were placed high, close to the flat roof, consisted of two parts and a fireplace in the center. He also depicted details such as the location of the doors and the shape of the chimney. The book containing these details was published in Munich, Germany in 1852.
Exploration in Turkey
Based on his speech with Emmerich on October 18, 1881, based on the book written by Brentano, a French priest named Abbé Julien Gouyet discovered a small stone building and the ruins of ancient Ephesus on a mountain overlooking the Aegean Sea. He believed that this was the house where the Virgin Mary, who Emmerich described, spent the last years.
The discovery of Abbé Gouyet was not taken seriously by most people, but ten years later, Sister Marie de Mandat-Grancey, at the insistence of DC, the two Lazarist missionaries Father Poulin and Father Jung rediscovered the building in Izmir on July 29, 1891. . They learned that this four-walled roofless residue was long respected by the locals of Sirince, 17 km away, the descendants of the first Christians of Ephesus. They called the house Panaya Kapulu ("The door to the Virgin"). A pilgrimage visit takes place here on August 15, where most Christians celebrate the ascent (Dormition) of Mary each year.
Sister Marie de Mandat-Grancey was chosen by the Catholic Church as the founder of the House of the Virgin Mary and was responsible for the restoration, restoration, and protection of the area around the mountain and the house of Mary until her death in 1915. [13] The discovery revived and strengthened the "tradition of Ephesus", a tradition from the 12th century. This tradition competed with the older "Jerusalem tradition" over the place where the Blessed Virgin was taken to heaven. Pope XIII. Leo in 1896 and Pope XXIII. Due to the actions of Ioannes in 1961, the Catholic Church abolished the basic amnesty from the Dormition Church in Jerusalem, and then all the pilgrims in the house of Mary in Ephesus zamfor moments.
archaeology
The restored part of the building is distinguished from the original remains of the building by a red painted line. Some expressed their doubts about the field, as Mary's relationship with Ephesus occurred only in the 12th century, and it was said that Mary lived in Jerusalem in the universal tradition of the church fathers, and therefore was taken to heaven. Their supporters based their beliefs on the fact that the Virgin Mary Church, the first church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was located in Ephesus in the 5th century.
Attitude of the Roman Catholic Church
The Roman Catholic Church never pronounced the originality of the house, as there was not enough scientific evidence. However, in 1896 Pope XIII. It is understood from Leo's blessing during his first pilgrimage that they viewed the region positively. Pope XII. Pius upgraded the house to the status of Holy Place upon the definition of the rise of Mary in 1951, then Pope XXIII. This status will be made permanent by Ioannes. The region is respected and visited by Muslims as well as Christians. Pilgrims drink from boiling water, which is believed to have healing properties under the house.
A religious ritual is held here every year on August 15 to commemorate the reception of Mary into heaven.

Pope VI. Paulus on July 26, 1967, Pope II. Ioannes Paulus on November 30, 1979 and Pope XVI. Pope Benedict visited holy house they had done during the four-day visit to Turkey on November 29, 2006.
