(The church as you walk up the path from the parking lot)
This week I'd like to share with you a few more of the adventures Rick and I had while in the North of Israel. I have had so little time since coming home to edit photos, etc. so I do apologize that it's taken me this long to continue our trip recap.
On July 4th Rick and I set out from our home base in Safed to visit some of the Historical sights in Galilee relating to the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Our first stop was the Church of the Beatitudes. We made it there just before the church closed for a mid-day break. This meant that we only had about 10 minutes to look our fill.
The church, built in the 1930s, was built on the traditional sight where Christ delivered the "Sermon on the Mount". While the outside of the church was nice, the inside was a little too modern/deco for my taste. However, there was no denying that the location was beautiful. (The facade of the church)
