Lystra and the events that happened there have always intrigued me. Lystra was a country town in Galatia (in what is now central Turkey) that Paul and Barnabas visited on their first missionary journey as recorded in the New Testament, Acts chapter 14 (48AD).
They spent a year and a half in southern Galatia and they operated out of four towns: Antioch of Pisidia, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. Their trip through Galatia is told in Acts 13-14.
