DAY 7 — A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SEA OF GALILEE AND MOUNT TABOR
Another beautiful day of faith, fellowship, and unforgettable experiences as our pilgrims traveled for about two hours toward the breathtaking Sea of Galilee.
Our journey brought us to Capernaum and the shores of the Sea of Galilee, places deeply connected to the ministry of Jesus and the apostles. We visited Tabgha, including the traditional site associated with the appearance of the Risen Christ to His disciples and the Church of the Primacy of St. Peter, where the rock known as Mensa Christi is preserved.
We also visited the Mount of Beatitudes, the peaceful hillside traditionally associated with Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. The site is cared for by the Sisters of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, providing a serene atmosphere for prayer and reflection.
The journey continued to Mount Tabor, where we visited the magnificent Basilica of the Transfiguration, commemorating the Transfiguration of Jesus. Standing in this sacred place was truly a meaningful and uplifting experience for everyone.
And of course, no visit to the Sea of Galilee would be complete without tasting the famous St. Peter's Fish (Tilapia). We enjoyed this local specialty while taking in the beauty of the region, which is also known for its abundant banana plantations.
Day 7 was truly a beautiful blend of faith, history, nature, fellowship, and wonderful food — another precious chapter in our Holy Land pilgrimage.
