Upon this Rock | Caesarea Philippi


Caesarea Phillippi, where Jesus said to Peter in Matthew 16: "Upon this rock I will build my church."


The cave to the left was extremely deep (it has since filled with a rockslide), and the area in front of the mountain held temples to the god Pan and Zeus. Known as Banaiss Springs (because water flowed from the cave), pagan worshippers would throw animal sacrifices into its depths. #israel #apictureadayofIsrael
