The Medal Crucifix of Saint Benedict
Rich and Jim bought this cross at the house of the Virgin Mary on Mt. Koressos near Ephesus, Turkey, in September, 2025.
IT is believed that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was taken to the small stine house by Saint John and she lived there for the remainder of her earthly life.
The Holy Water from a nearby fountain is believed by pilgrims to have miraculous powers of healing and fertility.
It is beklieved tat Mary ascended to heaven fron this site.
We were gifted this cross for Christmas 2025.
