Smyrna

NT Asia (Roman province)
The church in Smyrna — stained-glass style group portrait

A persecuted and materially poor church -- "you are rich" -- that receives the second of Revelation's seven letters, with no rebuke, only a warning of coming suffering and a promise of the crown of life.

References: Revelation 2:8-11
