Land invited Him into her house, and urged Him, whenever He visited Jerusalem, to lodge there. Her’s was the house where was the upper chamber, where the Holy Eucharist was celebrated, and where the disciples assembled after the death of Christ, and where He appeared to them at His resurrection. It was in this chamber that they were gathered when the Holy Ghost fell on them, and here also were they assembled, making intercession to God for S. Peter, when the angel delivered him from prison, Acts xii.
