Which footsteps?

A true pilgrimage In the Footsteps of St. Paul would take you through almost a dozen countries and countless cities, ancient and modern. For this pilgrimage, we are limiting ourselves primarily to Greece and Italy, with a one-day excursion into Turkey. Highlights of the Pauline portion of this pilgrimage are:

· Visits to three of the cities to which St. Paul wrote letters that are part of the New Testament: Corinth, Ephesus, and Rome

· Visits to two other locations where St. Paul preached the gospel, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles: Athens and Rhodes

· A pilgrimage to St. Paul’s tomb at the Basilica of St. Paul-outside-the-Walls in Rome, including walking through the Year of St. Paul Holy Door and viewing the Pauline flame

· Also in Rome, visits to the house where St. Paul lived while in the city (Santa Giovanni e Paolo), the place where he was imprisoned (Mamertine Prison), and the location of his beheading (Abbey of Tre Fontane)
