The Artemision
One of the 7 World Wonders
and what is left of it
Symbol
of renewal....
The
stone on which I meditated
The St.John basilica. It is said that Mary spent her
last years at Ephese with the apostle John
Entrance. They built pieces from a pagan temple into the
gate
Children
in paradise
Example of Christian
take-over. They simply replaced the Green Man by a cross....suggesting that "from now
on" Jesus is the Green Man. Ironically, this is true, if you accept the thesis that
Jesus was part of the ancient tradition of "dying and resurrecting Gods".
Instead of THE Green Man, Jesus was A Green Man, one among others
Marian sanctuary. It is said that Mary lived here with the
apostle John.
Honestly, I wasn't very impressed. Although two texts
emphasized the "holiness" of the place, I found everything rather kitschy
It
was forbidden to photograpth the "real" Mary, so this is a poster outside the
chapel
