Jesus' Ministry around Sea of Galilee

Mont Tabor - The Transfiguration

Jesus' Ministry in The Galilee

It is a great eye and heart opener to be in Galilee as all of the geographical names and Jesus' minitry in the scriptures come to life such as:
+Tiberias: Where Jesus calmed the sea.
...Mark 4:37-39
+Mount of Beatitudes: Blessed are the poor in spirit.
...Matthew 5:1-12
+Tabgha: The Multiplication of the fish and loaves.
...Matthew 14:14-21
+ Capernaum: Peter's home and the place where Jesus lived after leaving Nazareth
+Mount Tabor: Where Jesus transfigured in front of Peter, James and John.
...Mark 9:2-4
+The Jordan River: Where John the Baptist baptized Jesus.
...Matthew 3:13-16

Capharnaum - the town of Jesus. St Peter's home

Church of the Primacy

The Church of the Beatitudes

Mass at the Mount of Beatitudes - in Romanian!!

We had the option of a mass in Indonesian or Romanian, we pick the last due to its Roman\ Latin roots.

At the time of communion, we were not sure if there were going to be enough hosts for our communion, since we joined the Romanian mass at the last minute. God knows best. We had our own multiplication of the Body of Christ.

---If you trust God will take care of what needs to happen for our own good.---
