By the sea is a grassy field with plenty of hay and many palm trees. By them are seven springs (heptapegon), each flowing strongly. And this is the field where the Lord fed the people with the five loaves and two fishes. In fact the stone on which the Lord placed the bread has now been made into an altar. People who go there take away small pieces of the stone to bring them prosperity, and they are very effective. (trans. J. Wilkinson)

The Cathedral of Our Lady in the heart of Antwerpen is a very imposing structure on the skyline.
Though both towers were supposed to be equal height, only the north tower was built to its full height of over 400 feet (404 ft/123 m). The south tower is 214 ft/65 m.
The interior is also rather large: 387 ft (118 m) long, with a central aisle height of 92 ft (28 m) and a nave width of 176 ft (53.5 m).
All in all, it's the largest church in the lowland countries (Benelux). Besides its measurements, it has a rather long history.
There was a chapel on this site from the 9th to the 12th century. In 1124, it was granted the rank of parish church and a larger structure was built. Ground was broken on this specific building in 1352 and it was completed in 1521. As you can see, it's currently undergoing restoration, especially on the north tower.
Along with the train station, the cathedral is the one must-see place in Antwerp and merits a trip on its own.
The area of Tabgha is on the Sea of Galilee, and is said to be the site of the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fish.

The miraculous feeding of five thousand people is described in Mark 6:30-44, just before Jesus walks on water. The Gospel account of the loaves and fishes does not specify where it took place; only that it was in a "remote place" (6:32,35) on the shores of Galilee.
According to Mark's account, Jesus and his disciples had gone out in a boat to this remote place for some peace and quiet, but the crowds ran ahead "from all the towns" and met him when he landed. By then it was dinnertime and they were not in a village where food could easily be bought, so Jesus fed them all by miraculously multiplying his disciples' five loaves and two fishes.
