CHURCH OF TRANSFIGURATION – MOSAIC
Mount Tabor is located in Lower Galilee, Israel, at the eastern end of the Jezreel Valley, 11 miles (18 km) west of the Sea of Galilee. It was the site of the Mount Tabor battle between Barak under the leadership of the Israelite judge Deborah, and the army of Jabin commanded by Sisera, in the mid 14th century BCE. It is believed by many Christians to be the site of the Transfiguration of Jesus. It is also known the Mount of Transfiguration.The picture shows a mosaic inside the Roman Catholic Church of the Transfiguration. Photo by Itamar Grinberg.
