I am standing in the foreground with the Greek Orthodox church in the background

It could very possibly be the place where Jesus once taught and did miracles

Excavations of the traditional site of Peter's home. Some think that this is perhaps the very first Christian church in the world.

Here I am pointing to perhaps a carving of a mobile Ark of the Covenant.

Traditional site of Jesus saying: "On this rock I will build my church" [Matthew 16:18]

This is the traditional site where Jesus fed the multitudes with the loaves and the fishes

Here you can see the rock traditionally thought to be the place where Jesus stood during the miracle of the loaves and fishes [Matthew 14:19]

Here you can imagine that Jesus often walked along this shore.

One of the highlights of any pilgrimage is a boat trip on the Sea of Galilee to contemplate how Jesus many times crossed the Kinneret, walking on the water, calming the storm and causing the disciples to catch fish after they had caught nothing all night.
