Heading west to the mountains of Galilee, we'll travel

area where most of His miracles took place.

It's a late start today, to allow some free time and

relaxation on the beautiful beach of the Sea of Galilee.
The day will be based around this lake, where Jesus
performed many miracles.

We take a boat from the city of Tiberius and stop in the

middle of the lake, to read of how Jesus walked on
these very waters (John 6:16-24). Now we come to the
place where it all started – Nazareth – where He grew up
with his father Joseph the carpenter, and his mother
Mary. We shall visit the Basilica of the Annunciation, built
where Mary was visited by the Archangel Gabriel and
was told that she had been chosen to be the mother of
Jesus (Luke 1:26-38).

Flesh" happened, and the beautiful port city built by king
