The Mount of Beatitudes is located on the shores
of the Sea of Galilee. According to tradition, this

important sermon, the “Sermon on the Mount.”
Today, there stands a Franciscan Church on the
original site.
Tabgha
Located in Tabgha is the Church of the
Multiplication of the Loaves and the Fish. It
is said to be the site where Jesus miraculously
multiplied 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish into
enough food to feed 5000 people. See the
church with its beautiful mosaics of fish and a
bread basket symbolising this miracle.

Capernaum was Jesus’ home base during his
ministry. The Apostles also lived here. See the
ruins of the local Synagogue that Jesus taught in
and also the excavations of St. Peter’s mother in
law’s house.

Transfiguration, is believed to be the site of the
transfiguration where an exchange took place
between Jesus with

Cana, the location
where Jesus performed His first miracle.
Jesus turned a large quantity of water into wine
