Christmas Day at the House of Mary
The House of the Virgin Mary -"Meryemana" in Turkish- is a Catholic shrine on a hill above Ephesus in Turkey and is regarded as a possible site for the Assumption of Mary. But it is also attended by many Muslims. Actually, Mary embodies the qualities of a universal mother who transcends religious boundaries. These pictures were shot with an i-phone on December 24, 2010. This work is just an ethnographic material. To go further, WATCH : https://youtu.be/CbxFvxpkst4 © Manoël Pénicaud 2010
