St. Philip & Mary's House

Greetings again from Turkey....

Today we visited Pamukkale, which is a place of glistening pools and casades. The name of the place means 'Cotton Castle' which is a great description of its fantastic white limestone terraces. It also borders the Roman Hierpolis, where St. Philip, the Apostle, was martryed.

From there we drove to Ephesus to visit the place we believe that Mary lived in the last years of her life, being taken there by the Apostle, John.

Tomorrow, we will visit the ancient city of Ephesus....a city that was the 'place to be' in the times of Jesus. It had over 250,000 citizens and all the luxuries of the day.

Peace and prayers,

Fr. Steve

P.S. I will send pictures later. The hotel's internet here is not letting me download images. Sorry....
