This area is associated with a settlement that arose in the second half of the eighth century AD, after the destruction of the historic Capernaum. The current church was built between 1927 and 1931. Before the church's construction, a small monastery and a winter house were on this site, occasionally visited by the Jerusalem Patriarch. After the War of Independence, the territory of the sanctuary and the church ended up in the demilitarised zone between Syria and Israel, and a friendly family settled in the winter house of the patriarch. The church was empty, and the Christian presence in these places ceased.
How to celebrate a birthday in Israel for these who born in the summer? A journey to cozy shady places near the shores of Lake Kinneret, to the springs of mineral water and a farm full of aromas of lavender on the Golan Heights can suggest the answer to this question. At the end of the day, you can fun yourself with a small boutique winery, tasting wines and olive oils. Happy Birthday!
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
