CHURCH OF THE TRANSFIGURATION

7 km east of Nazareth, there is a Christan religious site on the Mount Tabor in Galilee which is believed to be the place of Jesus transfiguration. The Church of the Transfiguration stands on the Mount Tabor from the beginning of the 20th century. The church was designed by Italian architect Antonio Barluzzi who also designed, among others, the church on the Mount of Beatitudes, and Church of All Nations in the Gethsemane Garden.
Jews are not allowed to enter the mosque side while Muslims are not allowed to access the synagogue side, except on mutually agreed few days a year. As a Christian, I was allowed to enter both sides. And although I haven’t initially planned to visit Hebron in my Israel and the West Bank itinerary, Hebron became one of the highlights of my trip.
