Galilee in a blink

Sorry I do not have time to give you a full account of everything that i did in Galilee the 11 days that i was there so you are going to get the brief account. You can get the rest when i come home if you want to know more. Galilee was amazing! This is where the Savior grew up and where He did most of his ministry. One of the first stops on our trip was to Nazareth. This is where as you know the Savior grew up. We went to the synogogue that is built on top of the foundation of the original synogogue that the Savior went to when He got up and read out of Isaiah and said today "these scriptures are fullfilled in your ear". This is when He announced his Messiahship to the people of His home town and they did not believe him.

Below are pictures at the Mount of Beatittudes. This is where they beleive that Christ gave His Sermon on the Mount. The Church belows dome is in the shape of an Octagon 1 side for each beatittude. It was green with lots of flowers and behind the church if you looked out you had a view of the Sea of Galilee. The Spirit was very strong here and we discussed the wonderful sermon that Christ gave. This is where Christ gave them the higher law, The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Below is St. Peters Church at Taghba. Taghba is the place where the Savior feed the 5,000. It is also the place where Jesus called some of the 12 apostles while they were fishing. Also where Jesus turns and asks Peter 3 times if he loves him. Peter says yes three times and the Savior says then feed my sheep. Peter is also told that he is going to be leading the church. The church is to commenorate that event. Like eveything this is by the Sea of Galilee as well. I am looking out at the sea.

View of the inside of the Church. We were able to sing here for a while. While we were singing this other tourist lady joined in singing with us. It was really neat!
