Capernaum Shoes
There can be no doubt that we were blessed many times as we had the chance to visit many sites that students don’t always get to see. We are told that there are always over a dozen tour busses at Capernaum at any given time. With the violence that broke out while we were studying in Jerusalem tourism dropped severely. When we arrived at Capernaum there was only one other tour bus there. They left shortly after we arrived and we had the place to ourselves. We had a chance to sit and sing and talk and read and ponder in this city that Jesus adopted as his own. It became a very sacred place for me, especially to sit in a synagogue built where Jesus may have expounded the law many times. I took this photo to remind me that, for me, this was a sacred place where one might take off their shoes because it is holy ground.
