Description[edit | edit source]
"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[edit | edit source]
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]
