PATMOS
Island to which the apostle John was banished because of the word of God and the testimony given of Jesus Christ.
On Patmos the Lord gave John the visions reported in Revelation (Rev. 1:9).
This small island in the Archipel Sea is part of the Sporades, and is currently called Patino.
It is located along the southwestern coast of Asia Minor, about 48 km south of Samos, and measures just over 16 km long by 9 km wide. Most of the island is uncultivated.
