Dag 6
Megiddo
7. desember 2022, Israel ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
The sight of the apocalypse - what an incredible view. Megiddo is a hill that at least 30 different groups or civilisations have built on. From the top you can see to the east and west of the country.

Megiddo was so important because it was atop the very important trade route - if you control Megiddo, you are rich. But as always, with the money, comes enemies. Many battles took place in the valley and on Megiddo.

The water source from Megiddo is outside the city walls, so they built a tunnel down and then a channel out to the spring. This ensures that if there was conflict, the people inside the city walls could access water. 183 steps down, 80 back out again!Les mer

Dag 7
Mount Tabor
8. desember 2022, Israel ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
We travelled by shuttle taxi up the winding road to the summit of Mt Tabor. This church is the sight of the Transfiguration. Jesus took Peter, James and John up the mountain, where Moses and Elijah appeared and Jesus transfigured into sparkling clothes. This was to prove to the people that Jesus was the connection between humans and God. It also showed that they didn’t need the prophets any more, and that Jesus was the son of God.Les mer

Capernaum
8. desember 2022, Israel ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
In Capernaum we visited two places of note. The home to Peter the Apostle and Magdala.

At the home to Peter the Apostle we viewed an original Synagogue that was on a base of first century rock. This was the actual place where Jesus taught - how incredible!

We celebrated Mass with Fr Ashwin in Magdala. It is a stunning area with figures of Jesus and Mary as well as many artworks made of mosaic.Les mer

Jesus feeds the 5000 - what an incredible story. Here in Tabgha they have uncovered an original mosaic depicting the fish and loaves. The church has beautiful thin basalt windows that mimic marble.

Sea of Galilee
9. desember 2022, Israel ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Today we celebrated Mass in the middle of The Sea of Galilee. I read the first reading during Mass from the book of Isaiah. The boat ride was smooth and it was incredible to just sit and pray in the middle of the Sea. Our fearless leaders Colleen and Rami at the front!Les mer

The New Testament’s answer to the 10 Commandments, The Beatitudes. This church was designed by the same man who designed the Transfiguration Church from a couple of days ago! What a beautiful place.

After a busy day of exploring, Sr Bernice, Miki and I decided we wanted to take a dip in Lake Galilee! I will admit, I did think I would get all in, but it was FREEZING! Claire and Pat joined us as ‘lifeguards’. We all got in to our knees and decided that was far enough! Brrrr!Les mer
