This is the New Testament read on the ground it was written on. Over eleven days you travel from Istanbul down the Aegean coast to the cities John addressed by name in Revelation — Thyatira, Sardis, Pergamum, Smyrna, Ephesus and Laodicea — standing among the ruins of churches that were praised, warned and called back to their first love.

From Ephesus the road follows Saint Paul himself: across to Patmos and the cave where the Apocalypse was received, then on to Athens, where he reasoned with the philosophers on Mars Hill, and to Corinth, where he lived and worked and wrote the letters we still read at Mass. Daily Mass, Scripture reflection and expert guides keep the text and the place in the same frame.
