Why were people gathered in the house of Mary?

Actes 12:12 (NEG79)

12 Après avoir réfléchi, il se dirigea vers la maison de Marie, mère de Jean, surnommé Marc, où beaucoup de personnes étaient réunies et priaient.

It is possible that the gathering was a regular early morning meeting for church members (see Acts 2:46–47). Alternatively, it was a special meeting in which the church came to pray specifically for Peter, conscious of the fact that he would be facing trial later that day.1
