- From Wikipedia: Acts 9:10-18 tells of this event: The disciple Ananias went to the Street called Straight and entered the house; laying his hands on Paul, he said, "Saul, my brother, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Immediately things like scales fell from Saul's eyes and he regained his sight.

 Aleppo - view from Citadel From Wikipedia: Aleppo is one of the oldest inhabited cities, it has known human settlement since the eleventh millennium B.C. The main role of the city was as a trading place, as it sat at the crossroads of two trade routes and mediated the trade from India, the Tigris and Euphrates regions and the route coming from Damascus in the South, which traced the base of the mountains rather than the rugged seacoast. |
