The Mount of Beatitudes Church was built by Italian architect A. Barluzzi who also designed some of the most magnificent churches in the Holy Land. The Church, on a rise overlooking Galilee towards the south east, commemorates the Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-43)
All around the 'Sea' of Galilee are major historical and Biblical sites. Most of Jesus' ministry was spent here and the area abounds with churches of all denominations marking these events. Historically, there are also many sites commemorating battles, pioneering kibbutz settlements, memorials and all manner of attractions. Below are a few of the most popular pilgrim sites visited on Lido's pilgrim's cruises. |
