Israel-05491 - Church of the Multiplication

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

 

Church of the Multiplication is a church in Tabgha (ancient Heptapegon) on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.

 

The earliest building at Tabgha was a small chapel built in the 4th century A.D. (around 350).

 

The mosaic of the fish and loaves is laid next to a large rock, which has caused some New Testament scholars to speculate that the builders of the original church believed that Jesus stood on this rock when he blessed the fish and loaves just before the feeding of the crowd who had come to hear him.
