Summary
Pathe synopsis: Step back into history to an ancient city St. John and St. Paul knew, Ephesus, near the western Turkish coast. Ephesus is preserved because it died suddenly when mud washed down by its river pushed the sea back and left it surrounded by a lethal malarial swamp. You can walk the marble streets that the Virgin Mary knew because she came here to live - and die - after Christ was crucified, and we visit her house where miracle cures are claimed.
