2. In his final remarks before his execution, Jesus Christ gave his mother, Mary, to his apostle St. John since Jarusalem was no longer a secure place for her. John thought it safe to set the Virgin Mary on Bulbul Mountain, which is close to Ephesus. It is thought that the Virgin Mary passed away at this dwelling during her last years. Following the visits of Pope Paul VI in 1967, Pope John Paul II in 1979, and Pope Benedict XVI in 2006, the House of the Virgin Mary is now formally recognized as a destination of pilgrimage.
