We started off the morning at the base of Mt. Hermon, at Caesarea Phillipi. This is probably the furthest north that Jesus traveled. It was originally named Panais because it was the center of the pagan worship of the Greek god Pan. It is significant to note that this was the place that Jesus asked His disciples "Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" (Matthew 16 and Mark 8).
This photo shows the indentation in the mountain that was known as the "Gates of Hell" which was where the pagans sacrificed animals and dumped them into the water springs within the mountain.
