We were the first group off the ship to arrive where Paul baptized Lydia, his first European convert, at the Zigotus River. Beautiful outdoor Mass site along the water. From there, we went to the archaeological site of ancient Philippi, to whom Paul wrote his epistle to the Philippians.
We saw the prison in which Paul and Silas were kept in Act 16 and I gave my talk at the ancient theater “What Must I Do To Be Saved? which was asked of Paul in Acts 16:31.
From there we went on the old Roman Egnatian Stone Road, back off the main modern road to again “walk in the footprint of Saint Paul“. A walk-through Kavala, which is the biblical Neapolis to see the monument to Saint Paul as he first arrived here on European soil 2000 years ago.
Then back to the ship for my talk “The Life and Travels of Saint Paul“. Another lovely dinner and a free evening to enjoy the ship’s amenities.
