THE SEVEN CHURCHES MENTIONED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
ARE ALL LOCATED IN THE AEGEAN
Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyateira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.
Antioch, once called the "queen of the east" and known as the third largest city of the roman empire, played a key role in the spread of christianity. st paul began his three missionary journeys from there and it was at antioch that the followers of jesus were first called christians. a cave known today as the grotto of st. peter or the church of st. peter is believed to be where the apostle peter preached when he lived in antioch. in 1963, the papacy designated the site as a place of pilgrimage and also recognized it as the world's first cathedral.

Apostles st. john, st. paul and st.peter have all lived and preached in anatolia. About three miles away in the forested mountain above ephesus is the house of virgin mary (meryemana evi), a modest stone house where the virgin mary lived her last days. It is believed that st. john brought mary to this site after christ's crucifixion. Vatican declared the house of the virgin mary a holy site in 1967. --> more info about Seven Churches
