Mt. Nebo

Feb. 10, 2010

The Catholic church maintains the top of Mt. Nebo where we can see what Moses saw when he looked at the Promised Land. Our view was somewhat obsecured by the haze. Hopefully it was clearer when Moses was there.

The old church on the site is being replaced but the mosaic in the the floor is being preserved.

The Magnify symbol beside some selected pictures indicates a larger image is available by clicking the symbol.
