On our first full day of the Pilgrimage we always start out early and we end early so people can have some free time by the shore of Galilee and rest after all their travels.

picture is of Mount Tabor, the Mount of Transfiguration.

.Today we started with Mass at the top of the Mount of Transfiguration and then renewal of wedding vows in Cana and then time in Nazareth — hometown of our guide Amer. It’s always a highlight to pray the 1st Joyful Mystery at the very place where the angel met Mary and the words of the Rosary originated.

I also get my talk “A Day in the Life of the Holy Family” at the very place for the Holy Family lived for 30 silent years.

It was a great day and everyone had a wonderful time with a special time for prayer and Bible study and fellowship along the shore of the sea of Galilee.
