Tagbha, A Place of Miracles




A man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints” ~Wilfred Peterson

Tabgha is an area not far from Caphernaum and within this area is the Mount of Beatitudes, as well as, the two churches here.


Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves



Interior garden of the church



The altar over the stone on which Jesus was to have stood to feed the multitude.
Mark 6:34-44



Church of Peter's Primacy

A place venerated As the place where Jesus fed his disciples after the Resurrection.  It is suggested that Jesus wanted to have breakfast with his disciples that he had physically risen from the dead. (John 21: 1-14)



 And so I walked down to the Sea of Galilee where countless pilgrims have walked and tried to envision the multitude that was fed that day, not 80 as we were, but a multitude. 

For the Lord Most High is awesome
the great King over all the earth.
Psalm 47: 2

So it is that next week we begin our journey from Palm Sunday to the cross on Calvary with our Lord.  Then we celebrate with great Alleluias on Easter Sunday with our Risen Lord!!

Thanks be to God!
