The Isle of Patmos is in the Mediterranean
Sea off the coast of Turkey. Today there is a
Monastery of St. John that stands on a hill.
There also is a cave where John was supposed
to receive the vision of Revelation. It is now
used as a monument of ancient manuscripts.

In 95 A.D. John was banished to this island
by an Emperor of Rome and eighteen months
later released by a different ruler. It was at
this time he was vistited by Jesus.

It has been told that John was exiled there
after he had miraculously survived immersion
in boiling oil. But did later die in 98 A.D.
