June in Tiberias: I know now that the summer is without a doubt the most difficult season to brave this region. But at least it makes up for it in abundance, with a pretty church in the neb-byzantine style and an unbeatable view of the Sea of Galilee stretching out to the horizon.
The beatitudes, evangelical tools that can allow the loyal follower to attain eternal life, are depicted in the stained-glass windows, whilst the seven virtues are represented around the altar. The interior of the Church of the Beatitudes is at once bright and understated, thanks to the marble and gold of the dome.
The archeological sites form the basis of every trip to Israel, and the region of the lake of Tiberias also conforms to this rule. I continued my expedition by going further down, closer to the bank, where researchers had set up excavation sites just next to the orthodox monastery.
