The Sea of Galilee is rich in memories of the 3 years of Jesus' ministry around its shores. We begin this day on Mt. Arbel from which there is a wonderful panoramic view of all the surrounding areas including Mt. Hermon, and the pilgrim shrines on the NW shores of the Sea of Galilee. We will visit Magdala, the birthplace of Mary Magdalene, and the 2000 year old fishing Boat known as the "Jesus Boat". Next on the itinerary is the Mount of Beatitudes the scene of the Sermon on the Mount. Nearby is Chorazim which is one of the cities where Jesus taught. We will visit Tabgha which is the location of the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes and the Chapel of the Primacy. Capernaum, where Jesus did many signs and wonders where we can visit the House of Peter and the ancient synagogue. Next, we will enjoy a lunch of St. Peters Fish and take a boat ride from there across the Sea of Galilee to Tiberias where our bus awaits to take us back to our hotel for dinner and overnight.
