Hierapolis and Selçuk Pictures...

Looking down the central aisle of the Basilica of St. John the Evangelist in Selçuk.
Check out the cross-shaped baptismal font in this baptistry. Steps lead into the water from both sides.
"St. Philip Slept Here"--in a manner of speaking. This was his martyrium (until it was undone by fire/earthquake). No word on what happened to his remains...
Me on the Synthronon (priest's seat) in the ruined Cathedral of Hierapolis. It's off the path from where most visitors to the site go, but the plan of the church and the baptistry are still clearly evident
