I'd be what you call a lpased catholic, or even a choosy one, some things I agree with others not so much, but Ive always prayed to Our Lady. ANyways, heard about this house in Turkey in a place called Epheus, or Efes. St John brought Our Lady there, from Jerusalam when Christ was crucified.
She supposedly spent her last days there, dying at age 65.

Its up a mountain called Nigthingale Mountain, few years ago, the pine trees that run up the mountain all caught fire, brush fire, but the fire stopped at the house.

Id been really looking forward to going, and while driving up the mountain I got very excited, and emotional, I really felt like I was kind of going home, in a way. When we got into the grounds, as I started walking toward the house, I just lost it, I cried all the way into her house which is now a small chapel, my mother was in floods also. We went in said our prayers,next thing my son who is 21, and not especially religious, he stated crying too, they were kindof happy tears we were all crying though. I cant really explain it very well, to me I just knew I didnt want to leave the place. I really didnt, I said to my mam and kids, Id be happy to stay her forever.I felt safe, deeply loved and forgiven up there. I will never ever forget that place. When I go back to Turkey again, it will be first on my list.
I knew I was walking were Our Lady walked ... special feeling.

peace.
