ANJARA

For the more religious, a pilgrimage is required to Anjara, in the hills of Gilead. It is in one of these caves that Jesus, his disciples and his mother Mary are said to have stayed during their journey between Lake Tiberias, the cities of Decapolis and Bethany. The place is recognized as a holy place by pilgrims. A church and a monastery were built there: Our Lady of the Mountains. The small church is covered with very colourful frescoes telling the most famous passages of the Bible, such as the Last Supper or the sacrifice of Abraham.
