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 too a street runs along the lake and the boats are very close to the shore. Houses and cottages are on the other side of the street, but the hills are much further back here, so the small town is located in a cheerful plain that extends along the eastern shore of the lake, sheltered from the winds blocked by the hills. It thus benefits from a mild climate which here, more than in the other countryside, favors the blossoming of trees."[1]
In summer
"The shore is full of people preparing the boats for night fishing or happily swimming in the waters of the lake, slightly stirred by the wind that crosses 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].
