There are journeys that show you a country. And there are journeys that change the way you carry your faith.
Two thousand years ago, a man from Tarsus set out on roads that would carry the Gospel from a small corner of Anatolia to the ends of the earth. He crossed these mountains. He preached in these cities. He was imprisoned, shipwrecked and renewed — and still he walked.
The roads that Saint Paul walked are, in their very bones, the same roads today. The same sky. The same stone underfoot. They have waited two thousand years — and they are waiting for you.
Not a classic tour
You will not be hurried past these places with a checklist. You are given time — to stand, to pray, to understand the Apostle's letters where they were lived.
Anatolia remembers
Cradle of the early Church — cities of the Book of Revelation, the cave church of Antioch, the underground refuges of the faithful. The fifth Gospel, written in stone and road.
A pilgrimage offered once
