Galilee | Church of Transfiguration and Church of the Annunciation

Galilee is known for the Sea of Galilee (Jesus walked on water) and where Jesus grew up. It was also said that it was where Jesus started his ministry. 


Mount Tabor

This mountain was said to be a site of settlement and battles between Canaanites and Israelites. Later, it was believed that the transfiguration of Jesus took place in this mountain. 

At present, you will find the Church of Transfiguration, under the Franciscan order, in Mount Tabor. 


Kafr Kanna

Our itinerary was set to visit Nazareth, and eat knafeh along the way. 

But I suggest visiting the place where Jesus performed his first miracle - He transformed water into wine at a wedding feast. 


The Church of the Annunciation 

Commemorates the place where angel Gabriel visited Mary and announced that she will conceive/bear the son of God - Jesus. 


That's all for today!
