Monastery of the Twelve Apostles

 This is a Greek Orthodox church in Capernaum.


 This church is very ornate.  Lots of stories cover all the walls with gilded gold leaf.  This back wall of the church is titled Last Judgement.  The red rope leads to hell on Christs right (or our left) is Abraham and others.


Here is a close up of the demons in hell.

 Here is Christ represented in the Resurrection.  His is breaking the chamber of death and releasing the dead.

Christ depicted as a sleep and then walking to calm the Sea of Galilee.

 Christ washing the feet of the Twelve Apostles.

 In the back of the church is a lovely covered patio looking out to the Sea of Galilee.
