Mar 26- On Patmos, we first visited the Monastery of the Apocalypse along with St. John’s cave called the Sacred Grotto where he lived during his two year exile on Patmos. This is where he received the voice telling him to write down the Apocalypse (the book of Revelation) and his teachings to be sent to the 7 churches that existed at that time. We saw the hollow places in the wall where he slept and where he rested his hand/arm. John had a pupil who wrote down what he dictated.
