Cappadocia

The biblical realm of Cappadocia, southwest of Ankara in central Anatolia, is a wonderland of unique geographic formations sprinkled with green vineyards and fruit orchards. Agriculture thrives in the mineral-rich volcanic soil, making this one of Turkey's premier wine-making regions. Often described as a "moonscape", the starkly dramatic terrain of Cappadocia impresses every visitor. Even more memorable are the frescoed churches and the labyrinth of underground cities carved from the soft volcanic stone. 

Acts 2:1-11
1: And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 
2: And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 
3: And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 
4: And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 
5: And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 
6: Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 
7: And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 
8: And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 
9: Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 
10: Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 
11: Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 

I Peter 1:1-5
1: Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 
2: Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 
3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 
4: To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 
5: Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
