Geocache Description:

A micro cache on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, where a 2000 years old boat is presented. It is part of the Jesus Footsteps cache series.


Jesus spent a big portion of his life in the Galilee. His miracles and sermons in several locations in the Galilee are well documented in the New Testament. This cache series commemorates some of them, in honor of the pilgrims and other visitors who frequent these unique places.

The Sea of Galilee played a major role in the lives of Jesus and his followers. In 1986, as water level decreased, an ancient boat http://www.sacred-destinations.com/israel/galilee-jesus-boat.htm was discovered in the mud. It was scientifically dated to Jesus time, and was presumably used for fishing. It is now on display in Yigal Alon house in Kibbutz Ginosar.

The 35mm container is hidden just off the lawn, on the northern side of the building. There is no writing tool in the cache.
