The brief info that I have are from the guide who took us around and from researching what I have visited on the net. The two churches are in the town of Tabgha in Israel, and if you look at Google maps, you will find that Tabgha is on the north-western shore of the Sea of Galilee.<br /><br />Yes, the Roman Catholic church is ever present there; and in Jerusalem there are also a lot of Greek Orthodox churches over the holy sites such as the birth and death of Christ.<br /><br />Thank you for taking time out to comment. Best wishes.ausiroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642455948372849081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13939263.post-59009069717923370262015-06-27T19:04:53.906+08:002015-06-27T19:04:53.906+08:00Interesting shots Arthur and you have a good knowl...Interesting shots Arthur and you have a good knowledge of the Gospel narrations. I only read about the 2 fish accounts and you had brought them alive with your photo lenses.<br /><br />The 5 loaves and 2 fishes records the miracle where 5000 people were fed, (1 loaf per 1000 people) and afterwards there were 12 basketful of leftovers. I have not visited the Holy Land and enlightened to know that a Catholic church is housing the site. I guess the church is near a lake, as the account of Jesus walking on water and calming the storm with the disciples in the boat followed shortly.<br /><br />The 2nd church, St Peter's Primacy marking the site of the Fish breakfast, also recorded another miracle event - a bountiful catch of fish despite a poor outing (when Jesus gave them instructions - an event after his death, which as you had pointed was the 3rd time he appeared to the disciples after death). <br /><br />To think of it, the Roman Catholic Church was the only Church at that time (Protestant churches came many years later) . The Catholic Church therefore embodies many rich <br />christian heritage sites and practices. <br /><br />It look like Tilapia were the fish that Peter and the early disciples caught which they had for breakfast. So it must have been a healthy and tasty meal. I had thought that fresh water fish had to be spiced up to give them taste, unlike the deep sea fishes . I need to relook at how I got this impression!<br /><br />Thanks for another talking point through your photo-shots.sweeteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323765013687027578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13939263.post-61468251762934221212015-06-26T11:38:35.055+08:002015-06-26T11:38:35.055+08:00In the 60's there were fish ponds in the Yio C...In the 60's there were fish ponds in the Yio Chu Kang area, where you can pay to go fishing.

Now, we have the Bakun - have not heard of any fish farming there so far.
