Description

This photograph depicts a beautiful sunset on the Sea of Galilee ( also known as Kinneret, Lake of Gennesaret, or Lake Tiberias ) in Israel. It was an exhilarating ride in these choppy waters and one could easily imagine Jesus walking on the water! The Sea of Galilee during the times of Jesus is thought to have been much larger than it is now. It is the lowest freshwater lake on Earth and the second-lowest lake overall (after the Dead Sea, a saltwater lake). The Jordan River which flows through it from north to south is the main source for its water, but it is also fed by underground springs.

Today tourism plays a large part in the economy of the area as Christian pilgrims come to The Galilee to experience the lake itself and to visit sites where Jesus preached and performed miracles. Others enjoy the beaches around the lake with fishing, boating and swimming.
