Details of the 4 sections in The Jesus Trail
Day 1: Nazareth to Cana via Sepphoris - The Jesus Trail starts in center of the Arab city of Nazareth at the Basilica or Church of the Annunciation, goes through the small Old City of Nazareth and then ascends via steep stairways to the ridge overlooking the city. From there the trail goes out into agricultural fields towards the extensively excavated ancient city of Sepphoris (Zippori). After passing through the small Arab town of Mashhad the trail arrives at the small Arab city of Cana, known in Arabic as Kafr Kanna, which is the traditional site for the New Testament account of Jesus turning water into wine.
Day 2: Cana to Kibbutz Lavi - After leaving Cana (Kafr Kanna), the trail goes almost entirely along forests and through natural and cultivated fields to end at the outskirts of the modern Jewish agricultural commune (Hebrew: kibbutz) of Lavi, which is located near the hill of the Horns of Hattin.
Day 3: Kibbutz Lavi to Moshav Arbel - This hike goes from hilltop to hilltop, from the panoramic view at the Horns of Hattin, past the Druze shrine of Nabi Shu'ayb in the small Arbel Valley, through striking scenery of a historically dense landscape, to end nearby the Jewish agricultural cooperative (Hebrew: moshav) of Arbel.
Day 4: Moshav Arbel to Capernaum via Mount of Beatitudes - After ascending Mount Arbel there is a climb down the cliff to come out on a small fertile agricultural plain adjacent to the lake which is known as the Sea of Galilee. Then the Jesus Trail arrives at the northern shore of the lake to the church at Tabgha which commemorates the New Testament account of Jesus' feeding of the multitudes, then to the church and gardens at the Mount of Beatitudes which commemorates Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, and then finally arriving at the ancient lakeside fishing village of Capernaum with its extensive ruins and modern church.
