The Mount of the Beatitudes

This is a memorial on the hill where Jesus is believed to have given the sermon on the mount. The site is likely up the hill from where Jesus taught. As far back as the 4th century, a small Byzantine church was located lower on the hill, closer to the Sea of Galilee.
The 1st picture is of the church currently on site. It was built in the latest 1930s. The 2nd picture is inside the octagonal sanctuary. Notice each of the beatitudes is on the wall up high.
The last 2 pictures are of the grounds and garden of the site.Læs mere
