Holy Land 2012 - Day 6
 | An outdoor altar at the Church of the Beatitudes, traditional site of the Sermon on the Mount. |
 | We had Mass here. |
 | Ideally, this would show the beautiful view over Galilee that the disciples would have seen during the Sermon on the Mount. In practice, there's a plantation in the way, and the air can be very dusty. |
 | The Church of the Beatitudes. |
 | The interior of the church, with the Beatitudes written in the stained-glass windows to the top. Beati pacifici quoniam fillii dei vocabuntur |
 | Illuminated manuscript of the Beatitudes. |
 | Teresa at the Church of the Beatitudes. |
 | The Mensa Christi (Christ's Table), the traditional spot where Christ barbecued fish for the apostles after the Resurrection. |
 | The shore of Galilee. It's still quite peaceful despite the visitors. |
 | The Church of the Primacy of Peter, housing the Mensa Christi. The church's name recalls the conversation between Christ and Peter in which Christ asked three times whether Peter loved him. |
 | The entrance of Capernaum, where Peter lived and Jesus spoke in the synagogue. |
 | Next to the remains of the synagogue, over the traditional site of Peter's house, a massive church has been built on stilts. It has been described as "that UFO". |
 | A glass window in the church looks down on the octagonal remains of Peter's house. The dark square seen in the image is actually a reflection of the church ceiling. |
 | The remains of the town synagogue, rebuilt after the time of Jesus. |
 | A millstone and an olive press in Capernaum. |
 | A statue of St Peter holding a crozier and a key. |
 | A 2000-yr-old boat, excavated on the shore of Galilee. |
 | A less elderly boat on which visitors travel out to the middle of Galilee for prayers. |
 | Another boat in the distance. The mist is actually dust from the desert. |
 | Birds alighting on our boat. |
 | Fr Alban afloat. |
 | Another boat surrounded by birds. |
