Description

This and some other images were taken quite a few years ago from a moving bus on the way to Mount Tabor. I was impressed by the bright colors of the lush landscape contrasting with the clouds, town, and hills in the background. I wanted to capture all plus my own feelings about approaching the holy place of the Transfiguration.

Mount Tabor is located in Lower Galilee, Israel, at the eastern end of the Jezreel Valley, 11 miles west of the Sea of Galilee. From the late times of the Roman province Judaea (6–135 CE) and on, the writers of the Christian New Testament relate that Jesus had brought Peter, James, and John his brother into a high mountain apart, and that Jesus became radiant there. However, none of these accounts identifies the "high mountain" of the scene by name. The earliest identification of the Mount of Transfiguration as Tabor is by Origen in the 3rd century. This early speculation is recounted by St. Cyril of Jerusalem and St. Jerome in the 4th century.[8] It is later recounted in the 5th century Transitus Beatae Mariae Virginis. (Wikipedia excerpts).
