A short voyage over to the Greek Island of Patmos. It was from here that John the Apostle was an exile, and wrote his book of Revelation as revealed to him by Jesus Christ. Read Revelation chapter 1.
We had an outdoor Mass overlooking the bay, and we all entered the Cave of St. John the Theologian where he wrote the book of Revelation. Many of the group also journeyed up to the top of the hill for the Greek Monastery of St. John. Beautiful walk and ancient artwork and a small museum.
The basic tour was over before lunch and everybody had the rest of the afternoon to enjoy the island or to go back on the ship.
