Traditionally Mount Tabor is where the tranfiguration took place, but it is more likely to be Mount Hermon.
14.25 View of Mount Tabor.
We went up in taxi's, and what an experience that was all those bends. Obviously the driver was used to it but seemed to drive so fast at times, the scarey bit was when his mobile rang and he started having a conversation to someone on the other end, one hand on the phone and the other on the wheel while driving round a series on bends.

All our group abided by the rules
What a big cactus
and another one, click on photo to see a sign to the right, could this be a sun dial or what?
view from Mount Tabor at 15.20
Bascilicia of the Transfiguration
15.24 Elijah
15.29 Moses and the Ten Commandments
15.32 This was really something, on both sides of the ceiling are beautiful mosaics which show different phases of Jesus - infancy, suffering, death and resurrection
The pair of peacocks on the window are a symbol of mortality granted to the followers of Jesus, since according to legend the peacock's flesh does not decay
the mosiac ceiling
The full view 15.40
15.41 the transfiguration of Jesus before Peter, James, and John with Elijah and Moses
16.11 and the ride back down was much better than the ride up. Did we really leave that early, must have as my camera says so. I suppose it was back to the hotel I can't remember doing anything else.
