Asia Minor, also known as Anatolia, had been a very important center during the birth and development of Christianity. It was on this land that the term "Christian" was first used, and the new faith was first introduced to Gentiles by St. Paul. It was also on this land that the Seven Churches of Asia Minor came into being. Our tour provides an overview where the traveler experiences, first hand, a journey through the ancient cities that had been visited by St. Paul, St. John and many early Christians. The sites visited include the Grand Theater in Ephesus (where the "Great Diana of the Ephesians" was worshipped) and Pergamum (where the "Altar of Zeus", referred to as the "Throne of Satan" in St. John's letter to the Church of Pergamum, once stood). This special tour definitely provides a memorable journey for all who are interested in the roots and history of Christianity.
