| Summary: | Justinian (527-565) had a large church erected on Mt. Berenice, which rises 200 m. above the Sea of Galilee, in order to declare the triumph of Christianity in the region. The site of the church determined the line of the Byzantine city wall. A large Bronze Age anchor-shaped cult stone was given a new meaning and interred beneath the altar. It was the "relic" that attracted pilgrims. Justinien (527-565) a fait ériger une grande église sur le mont Bérénice, qui surplombe de 200 m le lac de Galilée, et ce pour marquer le triomphe du christianisme dans la région. Le site de l'église détermine la ligne du rempart de la Tibériade byzantine. Une grosse pierre cultuelle de l'âge du Bronze, en forme d'ancre, a reçu une nouvelle signification, et fut enterrée sous l'autel. Elle était la « relique » qui attirait les pèlerins. |
