Catholics from all over the world flock to Greece for Marian pilgrimages that focus on the birth of Christianity. They are here to see the footsteps of St. Paul, Paul the Apostle, who was one of the most influential figures in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ in the first century.
Among the cities of Athens, Thessaloniki, Phillippi, Kavala, Kalambaka, Delphi and Corinth in Greece Paul delivered his first sermons. Paul worked tirelessly throughout Europe, then part of the ancient Roman Empire, laying the seeds of Christianity.
