ABSTRACT

The journey from Damascus to the sea of Tiberias, where Christ appeared to the disciples, is three days. Not far from Damascus runs the River Jordan, which flows into the sea of Tiberias and flows out again from the other side. From there it is a day's journey to Mount Tabor, where Christ's Transfiguration took place. Another town of Samaria is the so-called Sebak (Sebaste). Near it, three hours away, is the place where Christ conversed at the well with the Samaritan woman. There is another place where Christ blessed the bread and fed 5,000 people. Also near there is the tomb of the Prophet Samuel, at the spot where the Jews pelted him with stones. Another place of pilgrimage of the Lord is situated near by: here the feet of my Christ are impressed in the surface of the marble.
