Mt. of Beatitudes, Tabgha & Capharnaum

I was fortunate to tour the Holy Land in Israel in November 2011. My CMU college friend and fraternity brother, now priest, Fr. Gary, was also on the trip which was organized Fr. Antonio of Proximo Travel. I took a ton of photos, so this will be the first in a series of video slideshows. Part 1 is actually only half of the first day, which shows how much we packed in during the 10 day trip.

We started the trip in northern Israel, staying in Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee. This gallery includes:

Mount of Beatitudes which commemorates the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1‐12).
Tabgha, the site where Christ fed the 5,000 with five loaves and two fish (John 6:1‐13).
Visit to the excavations and St. Peter's Church and visit to the Church of the Primacy of St. Peter (John 21:1‐14).
Capharnaum “The Town of Jesus” where He carried out the major part of His Ministry. Jesus told Peter and Andrew “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:12‐22), and here Jesus made the promise of the Eucharist (John 6:22‐71).
Lunch where we ate St. Peter's fish from the Sea of Galilee..
