Church of the Multiplication

Reviewed By 607jayb - Fairhope, United States

While this quaint little church is nothing too fancy, especially compared to many of the more ornate Holy Land churches, it has its own very special appeal. The ancient structure commemorates where Jesus performed the miracle of feeding five thousand people from just a few loaves and fishes. Inside you will see the rock where Jesus served the masses from, original Byzantine floor mosaics, and other ancient, historical relics. This is a very quiet and holy quiet site with a nice gift shop to boot. This attraction, like several in Galilee, serves as a nice respite from the maddening crowds in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and other more famous places.

Capharnaum the Town of Jesus

Reviewed By 607jayb - Fairhope, United States

Wow, what a great place this is! The archeological site has been professionally and carefully excavated and the remains are simply one of the coolest treasures we saw in the entire Holy Land! We were on a guided tour and learned this was where Jesus lived for a while with the apostle Peter's mother-in-law. The house has been excavated and you can see where He actually sat, prayed, and ate meals. Incredible! The site also includes an excavated Jewish synagogue, so you can get a feel for worship practices of the Jews in those days. This amazing site has a working church, so be aware you may have to vacate that church above “Peter’s mother in law house” during worship services. They also have clean restrooms, a snack bar and a gift shop. All in all, a great place to spend a couple of hours away from the maddening crowds.

The House and Church of St. Peter

Reviewed By KimGTravels - Pacific Grove, United States

Interesting architectural feat to erect a church above the ruins of the ancient home of St. Peter. Through a glass viewing area in the floor of the church above, the visitor can observe a direct view into the home of St. Peter below. Although the church structure is futuristic in design, it does offer the visitor an interesting perspective. Located within Capernaum, this is a definite must see for the Christian pilgrim while touring The Holy Land.
