Philippi private tours: Saint Paul’s ever-lasting legacy

Philippi’s enduring legacy is a testament to its multifaceted role in shaping the course of global history. From its origins as a Macedonian stronghold to its pivotal moment in Roman history and its embrace of Christianity, Philippi stands as a remarkable example of the interconnectedness of cultures, religions and civilizations.

Greeks continue to honor Saint Paul throughout the centuries. Their reverence for him is evident in the numerous temples and pilgrimage sites dedicated to him. Archaeological discoveries, including early Christian and later monuments, confirm the historical accuracy of these accounts. The abundance of elaborate and large temples in such a small area suggests that they served not only the local population but also the many pilgrims and visitors who visited the city.

The connection between Paul and the Philippians has endured to this day, a vibrant and unbroken tradition. The Apostle Paul Cathedral in Kavala, the Baptistry church near the Zygactis River, the Monastery of Saint Silas on the heights of Kavala city, and other sacred sites continue to commemorate the legacy of Saint Paul and his companions, including Luke, Silas, Timothy and Lydia.
