For readability, I display the pages on top of each other rather than side-by-side (book format). Chapters and sections begin on even pages (left side) with introductory photos. Title pages begin on odd pages (right side).

To see the book layout, reduce the percentage in the title bar below to about 50. Then click the three dots in the title bar (right side) and select “Two page view.”

Tabgha Photos

View east: The Roman Catholic Church of the Multiplication, where it is said Jesus fed the five thousand with five loaves and two fish.

View south: Near the entrance to the church is this rock depiction of the mosaic in front of the church’s altar. The mosaic inset is not mine but is in the public domain (see the altar on page 223).

View east: To the right of the altar, you can see the foundations of the original fourth-century AD church under a glass panel. In front of the altar is a mosaic of the loaves and fish.

View east: Tabgha is in the area in the trees (center). The view is across the Sea of Galilee toward Gergesa (Kursi) on the opposite shore, where the incident of the swine took place (Matt. 8:28–34).

An olive press on the grounds of the Church of the Multiplication. The press symbolizes the suffering of Christ in Gethsemane when He bled from every pore under the spiritual weight of our sins.

View west: entrance to the Church of the Primacy of Saint Peter (bottom center). The photo looks across the Sea of Galilee toward Mt. Arbel (top left), the Horns of Hattin (top center), and Mt. Nitai (top center).

View south: The entrance to the Church of the Primacy of Saint Peter and the Table of Christ. It is located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee (see the photo below).

Mensa Christi is latin for Table of Christ. This outcrop marks the spot where, after the resurrection, Jesus prepared a meal of bread and fish for the Apostles, telling peter, “Feed My Sheep” (John 21:1–24).

View northeast: In this photo you can see the Church of the Multiplication (top left) and the Church of the Primacy of Saint Peter (center right on the shore).
