Ephesus and The Seven Churches of Revelation

Walk in the Footsteps of Early Christianity

Step back to the roots of early Christian history on a pilgrimage to Ephesus and the Seven Churches of Revelation.

In Ephesus, we visit the ancient ruins of one of the most significant cities in the early Church, including the site of St. John’s tomb and the impressive Basilica of St. John. Here, we reflect on the life and ministry of St. Paul and St. John, whose teachings helped shape the foundation of Christian faith.

We will then journey to the sites of the Seven Churches of Revelation, as described in the letters to the churches in the Book of Revelation. From the Church of Smyrna to Laodicea, we explore the places where early Christian communities received guidance, encouragement, and warnings, offering timeless lessons for our own spiritual lives.
