Home of the Assumption: Reconstructing Mary's Life in Ephesus

Most of us know what Jesus said from the Cross: When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. This is the fascinating story of what happened after that, when John brought Mary to Ephesus. It includes the events leading up to the discovery of the home which St. John had built for her. And it explores the traditional belief that it is where the Assumption took place. Book jacket.
