Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth

Church of the Multiplication at Tabgha

This is the traditional place where Jesus fed 5,000 people through the multiplication of 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. We will visit the modern replica of the Byzantine church with its original fifth-century floor, including the famous mosaic of the Loaves and Fishes.

Day 05

Capernaum, the Town of Jesus

Capernaum - the Town of Jesus - is where Jesus spent three years of his life after he left Nazareth, where he performed most of his miracles, walked on the water, and met five of his twelve disciples. It was also abandoned after the terrible earthquake in the eighth century.

We will visit the White Synagogue built over the Synagogue of Jesus, the remains of Domus Ecclesia, the Byzantine church built over St. Peter's house, and the ultra-modern "suspended" church built above them.
