Small Greek Orthodocs Old Church, with a lot of icons and nice atmosphere in it. Very old walls and passages inside, with much History. Right next to the Church stands a New Christmas Tree, and around it - Great Celebration of Eastern Church's Christmas.

Beautiful setting and very peaceful location by the Sea of Galilee. Small Chapel's foundations date back to the 4th Century. Very much worth the trip and much less crowded than some of the other sites - though all are worth it. I loved this historical site and highly recommend it.

The town of Capernaum is cited in all four gospels to have been the hometown of the tax collector Matthew. Nearby is Bethsaida, the hometown of the apostles Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John. It is very likely that Jesus stayed in the house of one of his followers here. He certainly spent time teaching and healing there. One Sabbath, Jesus taught in the synagogue in Capernaum and healed a man who was possessed by an unclean spirit. This is also the place where Jesus healed the servant of a Roman centurion who had asked for his help. Capernaum is also the location of the healing of the paralytic lowered by friends through the roof to reach Jesus. According to the Gospels, Jesus selected this town as the center of his public ministry in Galilee after he left Nazareth. He also formally cursed Capernaum, because of their lack of faith in him as the Messiah. The ruins of Peter’s house and the synagogue are located in this national park. The ruins lay undiscovered until 1838, when a visiting scholar gave this description: “The whole place is desolate and mournful”. Today an ultra-modern Catholic church, perched on eight sturdy pillars, hovers protectively over an excavation site. It is believed to have been the site of Peter’s house, where Jesus would have lodged. Near the church, a partly reconstructed synagogue is believed to have been built on the foundations of the synagogue in which Jesus taught. Erected in the 4th or 5th centuries, this impressive structure with ornately carved decorations is the largest synagogue discovered in Israel. This was an unexpected surreal experience to be able to retrace the steps where Jesus walked.

It is a church built on the spot where Jesus, with his 3rd appearance to the disciples, roasted fish on the beach, and where Peter received confirmation of his calling. There is a statue in the garden where it is depicted: “Let my sheep feed”. The church is also called Church of the Primacy of St. Peter. The flat stone in front of the altar is the “table of Christ” = Mensa Christi. The 12 heart-shaped flat stones outside commemorate the 12 apostles. I light a candle here; then pick up some pebbles from the sea and could walk into and feel the waters of the Sea of Galilee.

Take a Cab to visit this Church, because it's far above the main Nazareth's attractions. You won't regret visiting the place, because of a very nice view on the City, and the Church is very beautiful.
10. Greek Orthodox St. George Church
