Gherghesa
The village on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.
Inhabitants or natives
Arria and Simeon the violent husband.
Description
In the plain southeast of the lake
"here a road coasts the lake and all the boats are on the shore. Large and small houses are set in a row on the other side of the road, but the hills are much more distant and so the little town is on a charming plain which stretches along the eastern shores of the lake, protected from the winds by the range of hills, and warmed by the sun which here, more than in the other parts of the country, increases the blossoming of the trees."[1]
In summer
"The shore is crowded with people preparing their boats for night fishing or bathing joyfully in the lake, lightly rippled by the wind blowing over it."[2]
Notable events
- The confrontation with the disciples of John the Baptist: why do John's disciples fast a lot and yours do not? - Parable of new wine and new wineskins.[3]
- Jesus grants conversion, but not healing to Simeon, the violent husband.[4]
