During this pilgrimage experience, you will have an incredible opportunity to visit the site that is most known for Christ’s miraculous multiplication of loaves and fish to feed the thousands. Tabgha, located on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, is also remembered for Jesus’ third appearance to his disciples after his resurrection. Here he commissioned St. Paul as the leader of His Church. At this Holy site, pilgrims can find a tranquil place for prayer and meditation in one of the two churches. Tabgha stems from the Greek mean “seven springs”, and sits at the base of the Mount of Beatitudes, southwest of Capernaum. Several warm springs are present at this serene location, which is a draw for fish, even in the winter months. Because of the abundance of fish, this location makes it easy to picture Jesus preaching from a boat to crowds on the shore.
