Kerioth
The village of Judas.
Inhabitants or Natives
Ananias of Kerioth, Judas Iscariot the Apostle, Mary of Kerioth, mother of Judas, Anne of Kerioth, Saul of Kerioth, and the Leader of the synagogue of Kerioth.
Description
"A valley that opens more broadly onto fairly vast horizons from which isolated mountains stand out rather than a chain. (...) In fairly narrow but well-kept fields, various cereal crops: especially barley, rye, and also vineyards on the sunniest lands. Then, ascending, pine and fir woods and other forest species."[1]Judas finds the landscapes of his town in those of Ephraim.[2]
Notable Facts
It is in Kerioth that Jesus launches the apostolic preaching begun by Judas. He wants to thus show that the curse of a son cannot reflect on the entire population:"It is from here that I want the direct, continual contact between the Apostles and the people to begin. It was decided in upper Galilee (...)."[3]He performs his miracles here while giving the Parable of the Two Sons: a spiritual portrait of the damnation of Judas.[4]
