Thessalonica Saint Paul tours: Footsteps of Saint Paul
The intertwinement of biblical Greece and early Christianity forms a profound narrative that continues to resonate to this day. Pilgrimage tours to Greece provide an avenue for the faithful to immerse themselves in this narrative, experiencing firsthand the sacred geography that shaped early Christianity. In the footsteps of saints and scholars, pilgrims reminded that their faith is a living testament to a history that forever altered the course of humanity. Saint Paul visited Greece on two of his missionary journeys, establishing some of the earliest Christian communities & churches in Europe.
Biblical tours in Greece and early Christianity sites have gained popularity in recent years, as more and more travelers mainly from U.S.A and Canada express interest in exploring the true history and significance of Christianity in its early years.
Thessalonica Saint Paul tours: Biblical Thessalonica
Thessaloniki was another important city for Saint Paul’s missionary journey. He founded two churches here and wrote the two very first epistles to the Thessalonians. Today, we visit the Church of Agios Pavlos (Saint Paul’s Cathedral), which built on the site where Saint Paul have preached.
Acts 17
When Paul and his companions had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
The church is home to a beautiful icon of Saint Paul and a relic of his tomb. Also within walking distance we may visit the Saint Paul chapel and the Holy Spring of Saint Paul. Moni Vlatadon or Vlatadon monastery is another Saint Paul related site and definitely a must visit. The monastery is located on the upper part of the city, offering the best panoramic views of the city, Thermaikos gulf and mount Olympus.
Thessalonica Saint Paul tours: Biblical Berea
One of the oldest synagogues in Europe is located in the ancient Macedonian city of Berea. It was here that Saint Paul and his companions found refuge, persecuted by the Jews of Thessalonica. Armed with his deep and unwavering faith, and with the comparative advantages of a deep knowledge of Jewish law and a high level of education, he hoped to find a willing audience among his compatriots.
Acts 17
10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
Today, we explore the ruins of the ancient city, including the Agora, the Bema of Saint Paul and the old Jewish Synagogue. The Bema is a raised platform where Saint Paul believed to have preached. The Apostle of the Nations was warmly welcomed since his first visit and his preaching had a great impact on Greeks and the Jews. Saint Paul’s passage through Berea or Veria and the impact of his preaching, indicates the significance of this Macedonian town at the first steps of Christianity.
