The Sea of ​ ​ Galilee, also known as Lake Tiberias and Lake Kinneret, is the largest body of water in Israel with fresh water. Its official dimensions are 23 x 11 km with a depth of up to 45 meters, but now it has dried up quite a bit, the shores have been exposed - for several years Israel has been dominated by drought and streams from the Golan Heights do not make up for the loss. The use of water from the lake is closely monitored and the punishment for illegal use of water will be severe. The lake is located well below sea level, more than 200 meters, evaporation is high, but the lake retains its unique significance in the country and its water world. It is impossible to resist and not try the fish of St. Petra is a tilapia, she is from the carp breed, but without small bones. I don’t know how Christ fed thousands of hungry fish with a pair of such fish, but even one did not seem too big for me, my beloved, and even on the very shore of the biblical sea.
