菲律宾卡维特省阿方索镇于2024年完成了一座土耳其以弗所圣母玛利亚之家的复制建筑 1。这座占地67平方米的结构完全镜像原址的尺寸、形状和石材外观 1，距首都马尼拉约70公里 1。
该项目由神父丹尼斯·佩斯主持，耗时约10个月完成 1。佩斯表示，"这个想法最初是作为一个避难所而萌生的" 1。建筑竣工后，已接待了多批天主教朝圣者，包括7月中旬圣母卡梅尔节的庆祝活动参与者 1。
该项目旨在为当地信徒提供一个近距离的朝圣地点 1。这反映了圣母玛利亚在菲律宾天主教信仰中的重要地位。菲律宾约113百万人口中，近80%信仰天主教 1。宗教学者德迪蕾·德拉克鲁斯指出，"菲律宾人认为玛利亚的母性品质很有意义，同时她还具有为信徒代祷的能力" 1。这种信仰传统通常用"通过玛利亚到达耶稣"这一短语来表达 1。
A 67-square-meter replica of the House of the Virgin Mary has been completed in Alfonso, a town in Cavite province located approximately 70 kilometers south of Manila. 1 The structure, which opened in 2024, mirrors the dimensions, shape, and stone exterior of the original site in Ephesus, Turkey. 1
The project, overseen by Father Dennis Paez, took approximately ten months to complete. 1 According to Father Paez, "The idea began as a place of refuge." 1 The replica has since welcomed multiple groups of Catholic pilgrims, including those who gathered there in mid-July for celebrations of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. 1
The devotion reflects the central role of Mary in Filipino Catholic life. 1 Scholar Deirdre de la Cruz noted that "Her maternal dimension is what Filipinos find meaningful, as well as her power to intercede on believers' behalf." 1 In the Philippines, where approximately 113 million people live and nearly 80 percent practice Catholicism, the phrase "To Jesus through Mary" encapsulates this spiritual emphasis. 1
