People outside in the courtyard are reflected in the glass case housing a model of the new Benedictine monastery now being built at Tabgha, on the shore of the Sea of Galilee..
Specially taken for James and the friends at "Weekend Reflections."
Please click on the photo to read the monks' message and about how cracks are forming.
The new monastery is being built just south of the Church of the Multiplication of Loaves and Fishes.

I wish the Brothers all the best and enough new vocations to fill the building.

What a wonderful ministry they have - I wish them the best on their new building.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a great reflection shot in the glass!
I like the subtle character of the first shot.
ReplyDeleteThe first shot is so great...doing what we all, with cameras, love to do!
ReplyDeleteA cool reflection and what a great place for a monastery. I hope you show us some pictures when it's completed.
ReplyDeleteThat seems a perfect place for a monastery. Great job of making a construction site interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love that first photo - great shots
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful reflection image, Dina! I'm glad for the construction of the new monastery, it's so uplifting.

About your question on my post, yes, I found that cross along a quiet and deserted mountain road.
Hi Dina! Great reflections over there... It seems a bit too large in the current times...
ReplyDeleteBlogtrotter Two is showing some incredible rocks by the sea... Enjoy and have a great weekend!
I'm sure it will be a peaceful,reflective place when it is completed.
ReplyDeleteI echo your last sentence. So few enter the religious life nowadays.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the monastery will be made of stone rather than concrete.
Jerusalem is such a dynamic place and so much energy dedicated to religion-- of all types. What a great place to live and take pictures.
ReplyDeleteI can't look at something like this without wondering what happened to Father Adam at Monastery Daily PHoto.
There was nothing when I was there...
ReplyDeleteI wish them good luck. They must do good work in order to expand.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting reflection, and such a neat place...I love monasteries...Peace and blessings
