Cappadocia, because

Cappadocia, because it is located in a remote mountainous area, has a strange and desolate landscape and has always been a refuge for religious struggles. The early Roman Empire promoted polytheism and brutally suppressed Christianity that rose in the Palestinian territories at the beginning of the epoch. At that time, the first believers of Jesus Christ, represented by the famous apostle St. Paul, left Jerusalem and came to Cappadocia, where the terrain was in danger, suitable for hiding, the establishment of the first Christian district of Asia Minor, and the construction of the church. At the beginning of the 4th century AD, widely spread Christianity formed a powerful political force. Emperor Constantine and his successor, Theodosius, realized that Christianity was an emerging force that could be used to consolidate imperial rule. Therefore, they changed their policies, first to declare freedom of religious belief, and then to define Christianity as the state religion. The most concentrated in the Cappadocia Cave Church is the Goreme Open Air Museum, which condenses the nature, history and humanities of Cappadocia and brings together more than 30 cave churches and monasteries of different sizes. These churches were originally built by Christians who migrated to Cappadocia by avoiding political persecution. In order to hide their eyes and ears, they hollowed out the mountain to build a church, and the interior was engraved with colorful murals. The famous churches include Apple Church, Santa Barbara Chapel, Snake Church, Dark Church, Tokali Church and many more. I only read the introduction in the book before, and I am looking forward to coming to Goreme to explore these cave churches 2000 years ago and appreciate the artwork of God.
