Pinsteps. Springs near the Church of the Primacy of Christ, Tabgha
Places to visit in ישראל. Languages: ru, he, en

When the lands along the coast of the Kinneret were acquired by the Catholic mission from Nazareth, along with the essential discoveries associated with the Church of the Loaves and Fishes, the basin and the spring were restored. The spring waters were used to irrigate the lands of the Ginosar valley. Due to the high temperature of the waters of the spring at its confluence with the Sea of Galilee, fish (catfish and tilapia (or St. Peter's fish)) gather near the shore during the cold winter months. The ancients believed that the catfish that live in the Kinneret and the catfish that live in the Nile are the same fish that swim in the winter from the river to the lake thanks to underground rivers. Joseph Ben Matityahu mentions this thing "... it is believed that the Nile raven (catfish) lives in the waters of the Kinneret, getting here along the underground river ...". The peculiar name "Nile Raven" was given to the catfish because of the black colour of its body and the sounds the fish makes when it is removed from the water. It is also home to a type of cancer that is not found anywhere else in the world. This cancer is blind.

Journey to the Sea of Galilee and the Golan Heights. Water, lavender and wine!

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!
