Oct.27, 2018: Church of the Primacy of Saint Peter is a Franciscan church located in Tabgha, Israel, on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee. It commemorates, and allegedly marks the spot, of Jesus' reinstatement of Peter as chief among the Apostles.

 

Also known as The Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fish, shortened to the Church of the Multiplication. The modern church rests on the site of two earlier churches.

 

Tranquil Tabgha, on the north-western shore of the Sea of Galilee, is best known for Christ’s miraculous multiplication of loaves and fish to feed a multitude.

 

But it is also remembered for Jesus’ third appearance to his disciples after his Resurrection, when he tested and commissioned St Peter as leader of his Church.

 

Two churches commemorate these events, and pilgrims find the place a serene location for meditation, prayer and study.

 

Tabgha is at the foot of the Mount of Beatitudes, about 3km south-west of Capernaum. The name is an Arab mispronunciation of the Greek Heptapegon (meaning “seven springs”). Several warm sulphurous springs enter the lake here, attracting fish especially in winter.

 

This was a favourite spot for fishermen from nearby Capernaum, and its beach was familiar to Jesus and his disciples. It is easy to imagine Jesus speaking from a boat in one of the little bays, with crowds sitting around on the shore.

The animal on the right is the "rock badger" - in Luther's German "Klippdachs". But it isn't a badger, more a marmot (Murmeltier).

During rapid seed multiplication, mulching is essential. Organic and plastic mulch can both be applied on seed tuber multiplication beds. Plastic mulching using black polythene smoothers weeds and controls the multiplication of soil borne pathogens. Organic mulching using dry grass, dead leaves, and other plant debris conserve soil moisture and improve soil organic matter content upon decomposition.

The inscription tells us that:

Here as he walked by on the 16th of October 1843 Sir William Rowan Hamilton in a flash of genius discovered the fundamental formula for quaternion multiplication ... and cut it on a stone of this bridge.

(A reminder, perhaps, to always carry a pencil and paper when out walking beside the Royal Canal).

This church sits on the supposed site of Jesus' miracle of feeding the 5,000 (the only story, other than the crucifixion and resurrection, told in all four gospels). Mostly built in the 1980s, it sits on older churches, some parts still remaining visible.
