The Temple of the 12 Apostles with a pink dome is clearly visible from the territory of the archaeological complex of Capernaum, the distance between them is only 200 meters. But you can’t get here on foot: a separate exit from the highway leads to the monastery. If you arrive early, you will also need to call from the gate to open them.
According to legend, the temple was built on the spot where Jesus healed the paralytic. The temple was rebuilt and painted by a Greek artist in the last 40 years. Now the only monk from Greek Macedonia lives in the monastery, on which the entire monastery economy, including 12 peacocks, rests. By the way, he speaks good Russian.
