    Tips

    December 15, 2018

    According to tradition, Mount Tabor is the place of transfiguration of Jesus. But it is also a tribal border, because according to the Hebrew Bible, the prophetess Deborah expelled her enemies and it is the rabbinic "navel of the world". Rising up to 588 meters to the east of the Jezreel Valley, the hill alone is worth a climb for the view - all around you is one of the most fertile areas of Israel at your feet. Afula is the nearest major city and is located 21 kilometers southwest.

      In the three synoptic gospels of Mark (Chapter 9) and Luke (Chapter 9) as well as Matthew (Chapter 17) the TRANSLATION OF CHRIST is reported, which took place here on Mount TABOR.

      => "Jesus' [transfigured] form has something fascinating and points to his divinity for a brief moment. The disciples see his divine glory, from which Jesus came into the world and to which he will return again - through death and resurrection ."

      writes Agathe Lukassek in an article about the festival called TRANSFIGURATION (in the German-speaking world "Transfiguration") and celebrated in all Christian denominations on August 6th.

        The event of "TRANSFIGURATION" attested here on Mount Tabor in the biblical writings of the New Testament - see Mark (chapter 9), Luke (chapter 9), Matthew (chapter 17) - is known in the German-speaking world as "Transfiguration of Christ" or "Transfiguration of the Lord".

        => "In Luke's Gospel, the story of the transfiguration of Jesus follows the first announcement of his suffering and the call to follow him. At this point, it has the effect of a ray of sunshine falling through a cloudy sky: a glimpse of what will come after Jesus' suffering ."

        it says about this festival in a work aid of the bible work.

        PS: This church already exists as a hiking highlight under the title "Basilica of the Transfiguration", see komoot.de/highlight/266239
