多德卡尼斯群岛的帕特莫斯小岛由于神学家圣若望在此创作《福音书》和《启示录》而驰名。10世纪后期,有人在这里为“挚爱的门徒”修建了一座修道院,从此,这里便一直是一个朝圣地,也是希腊东正教学习之地。岛上占主体地位的是精美的修道院建筑群,焦耳城(Chorá)古老的住区及其周围有许多宗教和世俗的建筑。
The small island of Pátmos in the Dodecanese is reputed to be where St John the Theologian wrote both his Gospel and the Apocalypse. A monastery dedicated to the ‘beloved disciple’ was founded there in the late 10th century and it has been a place of pilgrimage and Greek Orthodox learning ever since. The fine monastic complex dominates the island. The old settlement of Chorá, associated with it, contains many religious and secular buildings.
神学家圣约翰修道院是一座希腊正教会的修道院,1088年兴建于爱琴海上的拔摩岛。1999年,联合国教科文组织将其列为世界遗产[1]。它建在《启示录》的作者拔摩岛的约翰看见异象的山洞——启示录洞,天主教和东正教都将那里尊为圣地。
