Sites you’ll see today
*Smyrna, known today as Izmir, once was a place where more Christians and Jews lived than Muslims. Thousands of foreign diplomats, traders, merchants and sailors were based here. We will see the ancient agora and the Church of St. Polycarp. St. Polycarp was Smyrna’s first bishop who served the city for over 50 years. When the Roman proconsul ordered St. Polycarp to renounce his faith, he refused and was burned at the stake.
*Sardis is the place that historians believe coinage was invented. It was a rich Lydian city that was known for it’s gold. Today, we will look at the remains of several churches that St. John wrote to, as well as an ancient synagogue. Known as Sepharad in Aramaic, this site dates back to mention of it in the Old Testament book of Obadiah when exiled Jews lived here.
*Philadelphia is another of the seven Revelation churches. It was once called ‘Little Athens" during the Roman period. Today we will see remnants of the surrounding wall that once encircled the entire city, and the Church of St. John.
