Calm seas all night from Athens to Thessaloniki. We disembarked and went to our three buses and guides. And if we went on the city tour of Thessaloniki. You can read about Paul’s experience here in Acts chapter 17 and he also wrote two epistles to the Thessalonians.
We saw the white tower along the coastline With the magnificent statue of Alexander the great on his horse. We looked down over the city from the ancient ramparts above. Mass at Cathedral of Immaculate Conception.
We drove to Veria (biblical “Berea”) also in Acts 17 where it says they were more noble minded than the Thessalonians because they received the new revelation presented by Paul as the word of God. Steve’s talk on “Berea and Sola Scriptura”. We walked on the stones that Paul walked on 2000 years ago! It was a highlight of the day for a lot of people, walking in the footprints of St. Paul.
Elegant dinner back on the ship.
