Description[edit | edit source]
"I may be mistaken, and this valley may be wider, opening onto wider horizons, with isolated mountains emerging here and there, not forming any real chain. It may be a valley between two chains of mountains. I do not know. It is the first time I see it, and I am puzzled. The fields are not very large, but they are well cultivated with various cereals: mainly barley and rye. There are also some nice vineyards in the sunny parts. Higher up, I can see some lovely forests of pine-trees and fir-trees and other trees typical of woody places. A reasonably good road leads into a small village."[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 to begin the direct contact, the continuous contact between apostles and people. That 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]
