12D11N Malta & Italy: Early Christianity in the Roman Empire & St. Paul Tribute

From St. Paul's shipwreck on Malta to the catacombs of Rome, the hills of Assisi, and the mosaics of Ravenna

Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta. The islanders showed us unusual kindness.

Acts 28:1-2
