The Steps of Apostle Paul in Cyprus
time 8 Days / 6 Nights

Cyprus was Paul’s first site on his missionary path. The island was ruled by the Ptolemies of Egypt until it was annexed by Rome in 58 BC. Many of its rock-cut tombs follow Egypt’s peristyle fashion. Mark Antony gave the island to Cleopatra as a wedding gift, but it was restored as a Roman province after the Battle of Actium (31 BC).

"Here they went into the synagogues on the Sabbath and took their seats. After the passages from the law and the prophets had been read the presidents of the synagogue sent them a message...'Brothers if you would like to address some words of encouragement to the congregation please do so.' Paul stood up, raised his hand for silence and began to speak: 'From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised." [Acts 13:13-23]
