John and Mary - Selcuk

Literally across the street from Hotel Bella is the Basilica of St. John’s. It was erected in the 6th century A.D. on the gravesite of apostle John (author of the fourth gospel and possibly Revelations). It is believed that he also brought Mary, the mother of Jesus, to this area at the end of her life. Many secondary sources mention that she is buried in this area.

I imagine John, Paul, or Mary walking on the same street that I just walked, and marvel.
