After the breakfast, you will first visit the House of Virgin Mary. We usually spend 45-60 minutes there. But if you want to pray and need more free time, you can stay longer in the church. Catholic pilgrims visit this place based on their belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to this house by Saint John and lived there her final days, until her assumption (according to Catholic doctrine). The House of Virgin Mary was visited by several popes: Pope Paul VI in the 60`s, Pope John-Paul II in the 80`s and in 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI. It is an active catholic church today, and it is possible to join mass on Sundays.
