Next we go to Tabgha, the traditional site of
the Feeding of the Five Thousand. After a Saint Peter's lunch, we continue through the
Hula Valley to Hazor. Drive to Banias Springs at the foot of Mount Hermon. Here at Banias
is Caesarea Philippi, where Peter made his great profession of faith. "...taking the five loaves and two fish...
broke and gave the loaves to the
disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds"
(Matthew 14:19 ) |

We will have a special baptismal
service at the Jordan River. If you wish to be baptized or reaffirm your faith, plan to
join this ceremony.
