We drove back down to the seaside to visit the next few sites.
"Tabgha" means to prepare a meal: the site of the feeding of the 5,000. Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes.
On to Capernaum: the actual site of this is certain because the synagogue of the Jesus time has been excavated, along with the site of the house where Peter lived with his mother in law who was healed by Jesus.
The modern church is built over the ruins of the ancient one.
A drive to the hills, to the town of Cana
Then to Nazareth
The Basilica's chapel is built in a cave thought to be the home of the Holy Family
Finally to Mount Tabor, the site of the Transfiguration of Jesus.
