House of Virgin Mary - Basilica of St John

The House of the Virgin Mary is a Roman Catholic and Muslim shrine located on Mt. Koressos. Catholic pilgrims visit the house based on the belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to this stone house by Saint John and lived there until her Assumption (according to Catholic doctrine) (or what would be Dormition (according to Orthodox belief)) More details

Basilica of St. John in Ephesus was constructed by Justinian I in the 6th century. It stands over the believed burial site of John the Apostle. It was modeled after the now lost Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. More details

The House of the Virgin Mary is a Roman Catholic shrine located on Mt. Koressos and pilgrims visit the house based on the belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to this stone house by Saint John and lived there until her Assumption.  

The shrine may be described as a modest chapel. Upon entrance to the chapel, a pilgrim is met by one single large room where an altar along with a large statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary is prominently displayed in the center. On the right side, a smaller room lies, traditionally associated with the actual room where the Virgin Mary is believed to have slept.

I am happy to know you all liked the 'Snack time' shot, thank you for voting it to Second place!
<span style="color:red">ADDED: </span> John, there were a lot of crowds and we had to keep on moving, just got this chance without anyone in foreground. If I had added / waited for a person there the shrine might have got covered. Still, I've cropped the image: <br/>
