Tabgha

This postcard shows a rock in the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes in Israel.  The rock is thought to be the one Jesus stood on when he lbessed the loaves and fishes before feeding them to the crowd.

Thanks very much Jaqueline.

Mosaic Floor of the ancient Beth Alpha Synagogue

My second card from Israel showing a mosaic floor from one of the most ancient synagogues in the world.  It dates from Roman times about 2000 years ago.  The mosaic floor contains the signs of the zodiac.  Mosaic floors were common then in places of worship or with very rich people.

Leda & Swan

This is an ancient greek mosaic dated around C3rd AD and is from the Imperial Roman Period.  It shows Zeus in the guise of a swan seducing the Spartan princess Leda.

Thanks very much Nasia.
