 | | Tyre consisted of two distinct parts, a rocky fortress on the shore, called "Old Tyre", and the city, built on a small, rocky island about half-a-mile distant from the shore. |
 | | This color was, in many cultures of ancient times, reserved for the use of royalty, or at least nobility. |
 | | A church was founded here soon after the death of Saint Stephen, and Paul of Tarsus, on his return from his third missionary journey, spent a week in conversation with the disciples there. |
