'''Patmos''' is an island of the [[Dodecanese]] archipelago in [[Greece]], midway between Samos and Kos in the [[Aegean Sea]], where [[John the Apostle]] was exiled during the reign of the [[Roman Emperor]] Domition in A.D. 95. The [[Monastery]] of St. John the Evangelist and the [[Cave]] of St. John are there today, under the jurisdiction of the [[Greek Orthodox Church]], and welcome [[pilgrimage]]s.

John reportedly received a vision in the cave and wrote the [[Book of Revelation]] there.<ref>http://www.greeka.com/dodecanese/patmos/patmos/patmos-book-revelation.htm</ref>
