In Roman times Herod the Great built a temple near the spring, and his son Philip embellished what by then had become a city, naming it Caesarea Philippi. That is the New Testament name for Banias, where Jesus charged Peter with founding the Church (Matt. 16:13–20).

Banias/Panias
Today, the Banias is a National Park with hiking trails and streams of water flowing through it. It is also the site of an ancient Greek city where the god Pan was worshiped, giving the site its name, Panias (known in Hebrew as "Banias). Christians believe that at this site, the northernmost location that Jesus traveled to, Peter identified Jesus as the messiah.In Roman times Herod the Great built a temple near the spring, and his son Philip embellished what by then had become a city, naming it Caesarea Philippi. That is the New Testament name for Banias, where Jesus charged Peter with founding the Church (Matt. 16:13–20).

That would be handy, a fire that you can cook on. Luckily we don't need a fire.
ReplyDeleteThose prickly pear remind me of a clip in walt disney "the jungle book" which the part of the bare necessities song. We rarely have that sky with that type of cloud around here.
ReplyDeleteI have had a couple of wood burning cook stoves, nothing fancy like that though, they just looked like a cook stove with the iron top. Wonderful for cooking and keeping warm!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the cow!
Another wonderfully varied post. Super skies, cute cow and beautiful blue rain bells. I loved learning about Banias.
