13 December:
Cheeky Chaplain and his two companions travel down to Caesarea Maritima, about 130 km from Jerusalem.
The Apostle Paul would have known Caesarea quite well since he stayed here on return to Judea after his second and third ‘missionary’ journeys and, of course was imprisoned here for two years before his final journey to Rome. Our journey from Jerusalem was rather faster and more comfortable than his, but due to time constraints we were unable to visit Antipatris on route.

We entered the ancient city at its southern end with a visit to the much restored Theatre. It was here in 44 A.D. that King Herod Agrippa I was stricken with a heart attack after failing to correct those who hailed him as a god, and died five days later ‘eaten with worms’ , as recorded in Acts 12:21-23.
The Promontory Praetorium, a truly palatial residence of the Roman procurators of Judea with its rock-cut pool and broad vistas of the coastline, is the most significant Pauline site in the city. Cheeky Chaplain could imagine St. Paul, chained to the left hand of his soldier guard, but sustained by the Holy Spirit during his imprisonment here. He may have written one or more of his epistles as a prisoner in ‘Herod’s Palace’.

Continuing north from the praetorium, we viewed Herod’s splendid Hippodrome – more than 250m long with seats for 10,000 spectators, then on to the podium of the Temple to Augustus and Roma, built facing the once magnificent harbour on a natural eminence. Lunching here, pilgrims may gaze out to sea at the remains of the harbour breakwater. Its construction employed the innovative use of hydraulic concrete. The impressive remains of the High-level Aqueduct that provided the city with water may be examined at the public beach a short drive further north. This completed our visit to Caesarea and we returned to Jerusalem.
