• Melito of Sardis visited the Holy Land in the middle of the second century, so at to establish accurately the books of the Old Testament. and to examine the relevant places. He, the earliest known Christian pilgrim, was in search of the biblical past.

Origen travelled around Palestine seeking out the location of events recorded in the Scriptures. Firmilianus. a Cappadocian bishop. visited Origen. and was in the Holy Land for the sake of the holy places. Pionius. a contemporary of Origen. also visited the Holy Land.

• Although the terms are used interchangeably in common parlance. strictly speaking, one ought to distinguish between the Holy See and the Vatican. The Holy See is the juridical personification of the more than 1000 million Catholics who are in communion with Rome. and. while not a state. enjoys the rights to make international agreements and receive and dispatch representatives. The Vatican is a state. albeit of less than I km. sq., and of only some 1000 inhabitants.
