Pilgrimages to Greece & Turkey

Born in Israel, Christianity quickly spread to the surrounding Mediterranean lands, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the tireless efforts of the Apostles, particularly St. Paul. Greece and Turkey received the bulk of St. Paul’s preaching and remain key pilgrimage destinations for New Testament scholars and novices alike.

Following in the steps of St. Paul is most closely done using the same mode of transportation as he did: a ship. On a cruise pilgrimage, you are able to mirror St. Paul’s missionary journeys from the waves of the Mediterranean and the sandy shores of Macedonia. Pilgrimages by Corporate Travel partners with Steve Ray of Footprints of God Pilgrimages for a Steps of St. Paul Cruise Pilgrimage rooted in expert Biblical teaching and including visits to authentic New Testament sites.
