This tradition was so strong that even after the destruction of the church by Muslims during their conquest of the Holy Land, the open-air pray on Mount Tabor was conducted by the clergy of Nazareth on the day of the Transfiguration (August 6 according to the Catholic tradition, and August 19 according to the Orthodox).
A visit to Mount Tabor is beautiful all year, but in the spring, it is unique. The lush green grass, the thunderclouds, the bright sun, and the fresh wind seem to recreate the miracle of the Transfiguration. The nature reserve of the mountain, ancient history, and the stone ruins of the Crusaders immerses us in a unique cocktail of nature, history, and faith.
Mount Tabor, located in Israel, is an important religious site for Christians, particularly Catholics. Its opening hours are usually 8 AM to 11:45 AM and 2 PM to 5 PM. However, please note that the site may be closed or have different hours during Catholic holidays. Therefore, checking with local authorities or the site manager for the most up-to-date information on opening hours and closures is always best.
