On Mount Tabor

.
 From the top of Mount Tabor you can see in all four directions.
The fertile Jezreel Valley lies below. 


In Christian tradition Tabor is identified as the Mount of Transfiguration, on top of which Jesus was transfigured.
In Israel the Feast of the Transfiguration is celebrated in the summer, in August I think.
But for some (so I hear from Christian friends in the USA), today is the day.
So happy Transfiguration Sunday to those denominations which  mark it today.
