Capernaum’s Church of the Twelve Apostles

capernaum church of the apostlesCapernaum is one of the most important Holy Christian Sites in the Holy Land. Its central part, maintained by the Franciscans, bears an elaborate ancient synagogue, and a modern octagonal church built above ruins related to the Peter and Andrew’s home in Capernaum.  Its eastern part, maintained by the Greek-Orthodox Church, bears little archaeology, but in 1931 a small yet impressive Greek Church was erected in it.

Most striking is the image of Judgment day painted over the inner wall of the entrance.

Visiting Capernaum Greek-Orthodox Church

The church is open every day of the week, 8:00 to 16:00. Visitors are requested to dress modestly and speak softly.
