Today we arrived at the island of Patmos. John was exiled here by the emperor Domitian because of his testimony of Jesus. It was here the he received the book of Revelation.There is a cave on the island which is where John supposedly received his Revelation. We weren't allowed to take photos in the cave and there was a service going on in there. Next we went up to the Monastery of St John. After that we went to a little chapel which apparently goes back to the time of St John. Here he secretly baptized new believers. We then returned to the dock and spent some time in worship on the shore. Then we sailed to the island of Syros. There was nothing planned there, so we spent some time just exploring.
