12 Days Turkey in the footsteps of St Paul.

Pilgrimage to Turkey: Walking in the Footsteps of St Paul. 

Turkey (ancient Asia Minor) is one of the most significant destinations for Christian pilgrims. Much of the New Testament took place here, and many of the earliest Christian communities, apostles, and Church Fathers lived, preached, and suffered in this region.

Why Turkey is Important for Catholics

• Home to many of the Seven Churches of Revelation (Revelation 2–3).
• Major missionary field of St. Paul.
• Site of important Ecumenical Councils that shaped Catholic doctrine.
• Associated with St. John the Apostle, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and many early saints.
• Contains some of Christianity's oldest churches and pilgrimage sites.
