“And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals.

But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat. They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes. He said to them: Bring them hither to me. And when he had commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.” (Matthew 14: 15-20, Luke 9: 10-17, Mark 6: 30-44)

It’s a Franciscan Chapel, located in Tabgha, about 300 meters east of the Church of the Multiplication, on the northwest shores of the Sea of Galilee. It stands over the place where Jesus appeared to his disciples for the third time following his resurrection, and invested Peter with his authority and commended him to “Feed my sheep”. (John 21:17)

Milk Grotto is located to the south of the Church of the Nativity. It is considered sacred because, according to the tradition, the Holy Family took shelter here during the slaughter of the Innocents, before their flight to Egypt to escape the wrath of Herod. While Marry was nursing her child Jesus, a drop of milk fell on the ground of the cave turning it white.

The Grotto of the Nativity is located beneath the sanctuary and can be reached by two stairways.

This is the cave where Mary gave birth to Jesus. The exact place of birth is located on the east side of the cave and is marked by a star.

The star is made of silver and has 14 rays that represent the 14 generations from Abraham to David, the 14 generations from David to the exile of Babylon and the 14 generations from the exile of Babylon to Jesus’ birth. The Latin inscriptions that appear on the star reads: “Here of the Virgin Mary Jesus Christ was born - 1717”. The opening in the center of the star has a view of the natural rock of the cave.This original star disappeared in 1847 (the disappearance of the star caused the Crimean War between Russia and France). The present star was given to the church by the Greeks in 1852.

The church of Nativity in Bethlehem is the oldest operating church in the Holy Land.

This splendid Church was founded by Constantine and his mother, St. Helene, in the year 326 A.D. The Church was built over a cave which, according to the tradition, marks the Christ’s birthplace.

Emperor Justinian destroyed the Constantinian Church and rebuilt the current structure in the year 530 A.D. The Church was much larger than the former one and the builders used lavishly and elegant decorated basilica in order to immortalize the manger where Jesus was born. It was built in two separate parts. Above the Nativity cave is the basilica and commemoration area and the western section is for worship.

Under the tyrant regime of the Ottoman Empire, Christians of the Holy Land had to find ways to practice their faith without bringing too much attention to themselves. Haifa was not an exception, and Christians, who made over 50% of the population of Haifa back then, had to maneuver to build more places of worship.

Built in 1862 in the middle of "Haret el Kanayes" (Arabic - meaning Neighborhood of Churches), what is known today as "Kiriat Hamemshala" (Hebrew - meaning Government's Campus), The Madonna Church was one of the most important Christian worship centers in Haifa. In 1936 it was officially associated with the Melkite Catholic Church.

The Church of the Shepherd’s Fields is suited approximately 2 kilometers to the east of Bethlehem, at the east end of the Arab village of Beit Sahour. It’s considered one of the most sacred places in the Holy Land and attracts many pilgrims each year. The fertile fields of Beit Sahour are believed to be where the Angel of the Lord appeared to the Shepherds that were keeping watch over their flocks at night and informed them of Jesus’ birth.

Prophet Elijah's cave (Elias the Thesbite), also known as the School of the Prophet, is one of the most sacred shrines in the Holy Land that brings many pilgrims to Haifa each year. According to the tradition (Jewish and Christian), Elijah lived and hid from the Kings of Israel (King Ahab and his wife Jezebel) in a cave on Mountain Carmel 29 centuries ago and after his return from exile he established a school in that cave. (Third Book Of Kings 17)

The name Cana [כפר קנה – قانا الجليل – كفر كنّا] originates from the Hebrew word “קנה” / Caneh / (Hebrew) meaning cane (plant). It is believed that in the past the area of Cana had many water springs and swamps surrounded with cane.

According to the Bible, Cana of Galilee, modern name Kafr Kanna, population of 8,500 that includes both Muslims and Christians, is a Galilean town located 9 km (5.6 miles) northeast of Nazareth, on the main road to Tiberias and refers to the site of Jesus’ first miracle of turning water into wine at a wedding:

A town of restorations and ancient ruins. A town of hidden caves and stairways. A town of church bells. This is Nazareth, located in the heart of a valley, surrounded by mountains. Historical findings tell us that Nazareth, originally a small farming village, had some 200 households at the time of Jesus Christ. Since then, it has known as one of the holiest cities in the world.
