Antioch of Orontes

Visiting Antioch of Orontes.
According the Acts of the Apostles:

With the church firmly established at Antioch in Syria, the time was right for the gospel to be taken farther afield. Acts records that one day while members of the church were worshiping and fasting, the Holy Spirit spoke to them:
"Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them" (Acts 13:2).

It was from this site where St Paul and Barnabas traveled on a ship to Cypres
