A day around the Dead Sea

Picture
The gondola ride to the top of Masada. The Dead Sea in the distance. In the Bible it is called the Salt Sea.
Picture
This is the room at Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were written. The Dead Sea Scrolls were portions of the Older Testament written during the time of Christ. The oldest and most complete scrolls we have.
Picture
This is an old Israel temple in the south of Israel or Negev. Our group is next to the "Holy of Holies". A replica of the 10 commandments made in King David's day was found here. It is now in a museum.

Lutheran Church Worship in Bethlehem

Picture
This Lutheran Church was built in the 19th century by Germans. We worshipped here. The service was in Arabic but we followed along pretty well. Pastor Dave was asked to read one of the lessons and brought greetings from the brothers and sisters in America.

Around the Sea of Galilee

Today, we woke up for our last day on the Sea of Galilee. We spent the morning going to the places Jesus spent most of his ministry. 

We started at Bethsaida where several of the disciples came from and where Jesus performed many miracles. 

Then on to Capernaum. One of the gospels calls this town "Jesus home". We went to this home and read several stories from the Bible which happened at this sight. A first century synagogue  is just 200 feet away from this house. This synagogue is another place where several stories in the bible happened. 

Then on to the traditional, although not likely, site where Jesus did the miracle of the loaves and fishes. It has a beautiful 6th century mosaic on the floor that I love. 

After that we went to the first century fishing boat that was found in the mud on the bank of the Sea of Galilee by some young men a few years ago.

We left the Galilee and headed south for a drive through the West Bank or Samaria. The Palestinian people I have met have been wonderful people. Our driver Elvis  is Palestinian, he has become a good friend to me. 

​We ended the day by arriving at the Dead Sea where we will spend 2 nights. Tomorrow we will go down to the Dead Sea to float and put mud on our faces.
