Day 55 - Bethsaida and Capernaum

So this week was our travel week. We went to lots of different places in the area of Galilee. All very exciting, of course. :) On Wednesday, we left for Galilee. Our first stop was the ruins of Bethsaida. This is one of the three cities that Jesus cursed because they did not believe in Him even though He did lots of miracles and signs in all of them. The other cities that were cursed were Chorazin and Capernaum. They are all ruins now. After we went to Bethsaida, we stopped by the Jordan river.

Isn't the Sea of Galilee so lovely?

Ok, this next picture is pretty crazy. This is a catholic church that is built on top of the ruins of Peter's house. Do you remember the story of Jesus healing Peter's mother-in-law? Well, Jesus went to Peter's house after He taught at the synagogue (which was across the street from this house) for Shebat dinner. When He got there, He found Peter's mother-in-law incapable of serving them Shebat dinner because she was sick. Jesus healed her, and then notice the first thing that she did... she SERVED them. Cool isn't it? So this is the place!

Yup. This is the Apostle Peter...

So this is day one. Hopefully, I'll get the rest of the days posted. I have almost 600 pictures from these past 3 days, so I'm going to have a tough time figuring out what to post!! 

Love,
