We started the day leaving the Sea of Gallilee. We went to Mt. Carmel where Elijah Took down the prophets of Baal. I have a pic on FB of me withe the statue of Elijah in the background. You can see an unbelievable view from the top of Mt. Carmel. You can see how Elijah would have been able to see the clouds coming from the Mediterranean.
Next it was on to Ceasarea Maritima. This was a large port city on the Mediterranean Sea. This was the birthplace of Gentile Christianity. Cornelius from the book of Acts was the first Gentile convert here. Paul was imprisioned here for two while waiting to go to Rome. I walked down the steps that Paul would have walked down to go to a boat to go to Rome.
Finally, we headed toward Jersualem. Our next stop was a few miles south of Jersualem, Bethlehem. We went to the Church of the Nativity and saw the place where Jesus was born.
Finally, it was on to the hotel where we will be staying in Jersualem.
