To the north west of Jericho is Mt. Temptation ... the place where Jesus was tempted for 40 days and 40 nights (Matthew 4:1-4) to renounce God. And of course Jesus emerged victorius.
On the slopes of the mount sits the Greek Orthodox Temptation Monastery also known as the "Quarantal Monastery".
We took the cable car up to the top of the mount and had lunch at the restaurant there after which we had photo moments.

After Mt. Temptation, we journeyed to Tiberius and celebrated mass on the way at a small but beautifully decorated church. As it was the Christmas season, we did see lots of Christian churches decorated with Christmas trimmings.
