We recall the final hours of Jesus’ life at Pilate’s Judgement Hall, the Chapel of the Flagellation and the Arch of the Ecce Homo “Behold the Man”.

We continue our visit to Tabgha, where the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fish is commemorated in the mosaic floors of the historic Church. In the town where the ministry of Jesus was centered, Capernaum, we see the remains of an early Church, the ruins of Peter’s house and walk inside the ancient stone synagogue where Jesus preached.
