• Holy Church of Saint Paul the Apostle - Located in Agios Pavlos, Thessaloniki, Greece, the Holy Church of Saint Paul the Apostle is a notable spiritual site dedicated to Saint Paul. Thessaloniki holds historical significance due to the Apostle’s missionary work and the establishment of a Christian community, as mentioned in the New Testament letters to the Thessalonians.
• The Archaeological Museum of Philippi - Philippi is a key destination for those following the path of Saint Paul. Situated in modern-day Northern Greece near Kavala, Philippi was a significant city in the Roman province of Macedonia during Paul’s era. Today, the archaeological site of Philippi offers visitors the chance to explore locations associated with Paul:

The Baptistry of Lydia, The Roman Forum, The Prison of Paul and Silas, The Octagon Church (one of the earliest Christian churches in Europe, built over the remains of an older structure), and The Ancient Theater.

• Saint Lydia’s Baptistery - This important Christian pilgrimage site is near the ancient city of Philippi in Northern Greece. It honors Lydia of Thyatira, the first recorded European convert to Christianity, baptized by Saint Paul during his missionary journey (Acts 16:13-15).

Biblical Significance of Lydia and Her Baptism
Lydia, a merchant of purple cloth, was a wealthy and influential woman from Thyatira, living in Philippi. She is described as a “worshiper of God,” suggesting she was a Gentile who respected the Jewish faith. Her conversion to Christianity was a crucial moment in the spread of the faith to Europe, making her a key figure in early Christian history. Saint Paul baptized Lydia and her household by a river outside Philippi’s city gates, symbolizing the start of the Christian church in Europe.
