耶穌步道
耶穌步道(Jesus Trail)是以色列北部加利利地區一條65公里長的徒步和朝聖路線,這是耶穌可能走過的路線,連接了他的生平和事奉的許多地點。步道開始於拿撒勒,經過塞佛瑞斯、迦拿、哈廷、Mount Arbel懸崖,加利利海, 迦百農, 塔布加和八福山。[1] 備選返程路線經過提比里亞、約旦河、塔博爾山和Mount Precipice[2]。耶穌步道遠足共計需要四天時間,每天的步行距離介於13- 19公里之間。
歷史
這條古道是由兩位登山愛好者成立於2007年,以色列猶太企業家莫茲·艾諾在以色列建立了旅館和賓館[3],而大衛·蘭迪斯是一位美國基督徒登山專家 hiking.[4]。步道目前由志願者管理,是一個非盈利項目[5]。
耶穌步道對所有遠足和露營者免費開放,沿路岩石上設置白色,橙色和白色三色標誌。
耶穌步道的聖經依據出自馬太福音。耶穌開始公開傳道,離開家鄉拿撒勒,以加利利海邊的迦百農為基地(「自己的城市」)。
