Mary of Ephesus Candle Altar
Mary of Ephesus Candle Altar
In the Greco-Roman ruins at Ephesus a winding mountain road leads to the House of the Virgin Mary. It is debated whether the Virgin Mary truly ever lived her final years there but inside the simple stone building, a statue of Mary sits atop an altar, lit by candles… visited by Christians and Muslims, this is a sacred place of reverence and prayer. A beautifully rendered and detailed marble dust statue of Mary of Ephesus stands on a darkened reclaimed wood slice, the natural characteristics kept, surrounded by the treasures you place at this altar. Light your candles, your incense and be reminded of the sacred space that lies within, no matter your path or beliefs. A momentary pause is healing for us all.
