Important People and Events
17th March St Patrick's Day
18th St Cyril of Jerusalem
19th St Joseph
This week's mass readings focus on the Transfiguration.
This event occurs at Mt Tabor, a large hill, in the food belt area of Israel.
To reach the top, the pilgrim must travel up an extremely windy road, one that can make you travel sick.
The views out however, show a landscape that is rich in agriculture.
Once you reach the top, a short walk takes you to the Church. And it a beautiful church, not the original Crusader one.
Inside this is what you see.
I was very blessed to visit here in 2019, so it is a place that takes your breath away. It is peaceful and powerful.
