Hand cast, painted and antiqued in local limestone. Mounted on matte black plaque. Hand crafted in the Galilee (few kilometers from Tabgha and Capernaum).]]>

About Tabgha

Tabgha, also known as “Heptapegon” (the Seven Springs) is situated on the way between Magdala and Capernaum on the banks of the Sea of Galilee. On the hill just above Tabgha is the traditional site of the miraculous feeding of the “five thousand” with two fish and five loaves of bread. In 1922 excavations exposed the remains of an early Christian church with a mosaic floor upon which is depicted a bread basket bordered on each side by two fishes.

The modern Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes was built over this mosaic floor. Tabgha with its famous mosaic is now a popular tourist site. The Loaves and Fishes sculpture is an exacting scale replica of this famous mosaic.

About The Feeding of the 5000 Miracle

The first miracle, “The Feeding of the 5000” is the only miracle (apart from the resurrection) which is present in all four canonical Gospels (Matthew 14:13–21, Mark 6:31-44, Luke 9:10-17 and John 6:5-15).
This miracle is also known as “The miracle of the five loaves and two fish”.

According to the Gospels, when Jesus heard that John the Baptist had been killed, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place near Bethsaida.

The crowds followed Jesus on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said:
This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.

Jesus replied:
They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
“Bring them here to me, he said.
Jesus directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

The artist measured the dimensions, on site, of both the outer facade and the inner burial chamber, while at the same time instructing the photographer in capturing the site from every angle. The result is a beautiful and detailed replica of the Tomb, both inside and out, replete with a removable roof and working roll stone. It is both an inspiring mantelpiece and an excellent teaching tool. Hand crafted in the Galilee]]>

About The Garden Tomb

The Garden Tomb is believed by many to be the garden and sepulchre of Joseph of Arimathea, and therefore a possible site of the resurrection of Jesus. (from gardentomb.com)

Rocky Escarpment

In Jerusalem for a visit in 1883, General Charles Gordon spied a prominent rocky crag which looked to him like it could be the “place of the skull” mentioned in the Bible as where Jesus was crucified.

Around the corner Gordon identified an ancient tomb and putting the two together he located the hill of crucifixion and the nearby burial place.

The Garden Tomb, located in Jerusalem, outside the city walls and close to the Damascus Gate, is considered by some to be the site of the burial and resurrection of Jesus, and to be adjacent to Golgotha, in contradistinction to the traditional site for these – the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. There is no mention of the Garden Tomb as the exact place of Jesus’ burial before the 19th century.

The Hill of the Skull

The slope has eroded badly in the last hundred years, but some maintain they can still see the eye sockets and the nose bridge. Regardless, it must be noted that while the Bible locates the crucifixion at the “place of the skull,” it never says that it was on a hill, nor that this place bore the resemblance of a skull. It also could be asked if this hill which resembles a skull looked the same 2000 years ago.

The Garden Tomb

While officially the Garden Tomb Association only maintains this as a possible site for Christ’s burial, some tour guides of the site are convinced of the authenticity. They note the large cistern nearby, which proves the area must have been a garden in Jesus’ day. They maintain that there are marks of Christian veneration at the tomb which also prove its sanctity throughout the ages.

The Resting Place

This is the place believed by many to be the resting place of Jesus. Some archaeologists question the authenticity of this tomb because typological features suggest that it is a tomb originally hewn in the time of the Old Testament and not a “new tomb” as specifically stated in Scripture.
