  A city of the Ancient World: Antiochia
Antiochia (today called Antakya or more often Hatay) is named after the wife of Seleucus, a general of Alexander the Great who enlarged a town founded in 307 BC by another of Alexander's generals, Antigonus.
It was called by the Romans Antiochia ad Orontes with reference to the river which crossed it (actually ancient Antiochia lay mainly on the left bank of the river).
Because of earthquakes in the VIth century and because of the effects of the Arab expansion, Antiochia declined.

 History of Antiochia
The Antiochia participants become the "workers on the Lord´s vineyard" and are ready to offer all their potential and gifts received for the service of the Gospel, so as the Kingdom of God on the earth may grow.
The parish, where Antiochia should take place, must be ready to continue the work begun by it and, after the end of the Antiochia presence and activity, further develop the fruits of divine action.
The arrival of Antiochia people to the parish is prepared by the local priest, or by means of short visits throughout the whole year, during which the aims of Antiochia are explained to the parishioners.
