Yigal Allon Museum
See the ancient fisherman boat from Jesus's time.
During a drought in 1986 the level of the Sea of Galilee dropped revealing the frame of an ancient fishing boat. Scientific carbon dating showed that the boat dates back to 100BC-70AD. This means that this boat would have been used by fishermen during Jesus’ life time. The Jesus Boat, as it came to be known is now on display in the Beit Yigal Allon Museum on Kibbutz Ginosar.

Viajar no mar da Galileia

Navegar pelo mar da Galileia foi impressionante . Na verdade não é mar e sim uma Lagoa, mas não podemos ver a margem de alguns lugares . O olhar vai até o infinito .
Magdala

Ci siamo recati in gruppo con la parrocchia di Gesù divino lavoratore di Verona a fine agosto. È un luogo magico ma non ancora troppo conosciuto. Abbiamo conosciuto un sacerdote americano che ci ha fatto riflettere su tante cose. Consiglio a tutti una visita.
