Our pilgrims enjoying a hearty lunch at Kule Seafood Restaurant—fresh flavours, warm fellowship, and a table of grace by the ancient seaport of Kusadasi where the apostles John, Paul and our Blessed Mother travelled into.

Standing at the site of the ancient Church in Smyrna, one of the Seven Churches of Revelation, our pilgrims reflected on the powerful legacy of early Christian faith.

Mentioned in the Book of Revelation (Rev 2:8–11), the Church in Smyrna was praised for its unwavering faith in the face of persecution.

It reminds us of the strength and steadfastness we are called to live out in our own journey of faith, trusting in the promise: “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” (Revelation 2:10).

Visiting the sacred House of Mother Mary in Ephesus, our pilgrims were immersed in an atmosphere of peace and devotion. According to Catholic tradition, this is the place where the Blessed Virgin Mary spent her final years under the care of the Apostle John, fulfilling Christ’s words from the Cross: “Behold your mother” (John 19:27). This holy site was miraculously identified in the 19th century through the visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, later confirmed by archaeological findings and the testimonies of the faithful. 🙏
