Turkey Biblical Packages and Biblical tours "Departs on demand, minimum 4 people"
Dear Traveler,
Did you know the first synagogue in Anatolia was built in 1324 with the permission of Sultan Orhan, as an encouragement to the Jewish community, which was suffering under Byzantine rule?
Did you know the last home of Virgin Mary is believed to be in Selcuk (Ephesus) Turkey?
Did you know St. Pierre’s Church in Antioch (Antakya) is thought to be the first Christian Church?
Islam is the largest religion of Turkey. More than 99 percent of the population is Muslim, mostly Sunni. The remainder of the population belongs to other faiths, particularly Christian denominations (Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, Syriac Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant), and Judaism (mostly Sephardi Jews, and a smaller Ashkenazi community).Turkey has numerous important sites for Judaism and Christianity, being one of the birth places of the latter. Since the 4th century AD, Istanbul (Constantinople) has been the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (unofficially Fener Rum Patrikhanesi), which is one of the fourteen autocephalous Eastern Orthodox churches, and the primus inter pares (first among equals) in the Eastern Orthodox communion.
There are many churches and synagogues throughout Turkey, such as the Church of St. George, the St. Anthony of Padua Church, the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, the Neve Shalom Synagogue, the Italian Synagogue and the Ashkenazi Synagogue in Istanbul. There are also many historical churches which have been transformed into mosques or museums, such as the Hagia Sophia and Chora Church in Istanbul, the Church of St. Peter in Antakya, and the Church of St. Nicholas in Myra, among many others.
