Israel- Mount Tabor

Our next stop was to Mount Tabor. Our bus actually couldn't make it to the top of the mountain. We had to stop at a certain place up the hill and get into smaller buses that shuttled us to the top of the mountain. The road up to the top was a little crazy and since the drivers drive it regularly they drove it super fast. Mount Tabor is believed to be the location where the Savior was transfigured and where Moses and Elijah appeared. The church at the top of the hill was in my opinion one of the more pretty churches we had been in. It was made of the light colored stone and was very open and light inside. I also like the wooden beams in the roof. The church was also surrounded by a beautiful garden.
