This is one of the most blessed places on earth. The temple stands on the place where, according to legend, Christ healed Peter's aunt. On the shore of the island of Kinneret or in the Bible the Teviridian Sea and Capernaum. There is an icon in this temple where Jesus Christ is depicted with gray hair. I have never seen such an image anywhere else. There are not many monks, there was only one Greek diocese during our visit. You will have the opportunity to go, you will not regret it, this memorable feeling of grace will last you a lifetime. Peacocks live on the territory and the largest vine that I have seen in my life. The temple is like Easter))

A wonderful Greek monastery, very beautiful painting inside. Located on the site of the ancient city of Capernaum on the shore of Lake Tiberias, in the Gospel text it is better known as the Sea of Galilee or Lake of Galilee. There is one resident in the monastery, Father Irinarch, who speaks Russian perfectly and is always glad to have guests from Russia.

The Greek temple of the Cathedral of the Twelve Apostles and the monastery of the Greek Orthodox Church were built in the 1980s on part of the territory of the Evangelical Capernaum on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.The temple is made in the tradition of the churches of Greece, consisting of domes in the form of hemispheres.However, unlike in Greece, where domes are always painted blue, here they turned out to be red. This turned the small church into a vibrant color palette of the area. Its white walls and scarlet domes are far visible on a green field. The interior of the church is bright and joyful. According to legend, the temple of the Cathedral of the Twelve Apostles stands on the site of the house where the Lord healed the paralyzed. The temple and the extensive farm are maintained by a single monk, Brother Irinarch from Greek Macedonia. By the way, he speaks excellent Russian! And the church is practically indistinguishable from the Orthodox in its interior decoration. There is also a healing key. There are always a lot of pilgrims and tourists from Russia here. Irinarch, a kind-hearted man, is always glad to have Russian guests!

A very beautiful, quiet place, giving peace even to agnostics. The territory of the temple is well-groomed, there are picnic areas, you can go to the shore of the Tiberias Sea and soak your feet in it. And there are also unafraid peacocks walking around, showing visitors their regal beauty. The Temple itself is beautiful both outside and inside, and believers feel good in it
