Tabkha pictures |
The copper doors leading into the church at the traditional location of the feeding of the 5,000. The scenes are intended to convey that story. |
This a picture (reproduced on a souvenir) of the mosaic inside the church with the loaves and fishes symbolizing the feeding of the multitude. |
Next door is a Franciscian chapel built around the rock where supposedly Jesus told Peter that he would build his church upon the rock (petra). |
The outside of the Franciscian chapel, which is built at the very edge of the Sea of Galilee, using black basalt. |
