A small cache in the location where Jesus allegedly delivered the
"Sermon on the Mount". 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.
Mount of
Beatitudes, just north of the Sea of Galilee, is known as the
traditional location where Jesus delivered his "Sermon on the
Mount". In Hebrew, the place is known as Har Ha-Osher
(הר האושר, mount of
happiness). A beautiful Franciscan Church was erected here in the
1930s. Pope John Paul II celebrated a Mass at this site in March
2000.
A small loc-n-loc container is hidden near the main entrance to the
church grounds, just off the road. Currently, there is NO writing
tool in the cache, so please bring one. The cache started with a TB
and several trinkets.
