This stone from the synagogue shows the Ark of the Covenant. |
This synagogue is from the 4th century ad, |
it was built over the remains of the synagogue from Jesus' time. |
Here, too people leave notes and prayers. |
Board games remain carved into the floor. |
The black rocks in the foreground are the Byzantine village built with local basalt. |
The round stones are thought to have been a part of Peter's house, the octagonal church built over top in the 5th century ad. |
The modern church built over top of both was erected in 1990, with a glass floor in the center. |
There is also a beautiful Greek Orthodox Church built near the site. |
We thought the church looked a bit like the Millenium Falcon. |
