Most visitors walk right over it without a glance.
On the floor of the great synagogue at Sardis, cut shallow into the marble, there is a simple wheel. At first it looks like nothing more than an old mason's circle. Then our guide Isa kneels beside it and shows the group the truth: five Greek letters folded one over another until they spell ichthys, the word for fish, and the secret confession of the early church. Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. And at the very center, where every line crosses, stands the cross.
Sardis is the fifth of the Seven Churches of Revelation. To stand here and read the sign the early believers left behind is the kind of thing that stays with you long after you come home.
Come and see it for yourself. Join our Seven Churches of Revelation tour with Pastor Tim Re*****on. August 30 - September 8, 2026 https://livingpassages.com/cruise/turkey-patmos-seven-churches-revelation-yacht-journey/
