The Mount of Beatitudes is a hill in Northern Israel on the Korazim Plateau. It is the spot where Jesus is believed to have delivered his Sermon on the Mount. Overlooking the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, the mount offers enchanting views of the northern part of the lake and across to the cliffs of the Golan Heights. There is archaeological evidence of an ancient church near the current building dating from the late 4th century, which coincides with the pilgrimages that were recorded around the same time. Its rock-cut cistern and the remains of a small monastery can still be seen. Part of an original mosaic floor from Capernaum is also on display. Although the specific site where Jesus stood and delivered his sermon has never been confirmed through physical evidence, the location of the Mount of Beatitudes is entirely reasonable, as Jesus was based in Capernaum, which is located just a few miles away and is clearly visible from the mount.
While religiously significant for obvious reasons, one does not have to be religious to enjoy the beauty of this site. Although a visit to the church will make clear why it is so special in Christianity, non-religious visitors can also admire and appreciate its unique atmosphere and incredible architecture.
The Church of the Beatitudes is an imposing octagonal building designed to blend into the surrounding slope. It was built in 1938 according to the design of Italian architect, Antonio Barluzzi, and was partly financed by Benito Mussolini. The eight sides of the church represent the eight beatitudes - eight blessings recited by Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount - which are also in the church’s stained glass windows, one in each of the church’s 8 sides. The central altar is made of alabaster and onyx and is surrounded by the seven virtues (justice, charity, prudence, faith, fortitude, hope, and temperance) depicted in the mosaic floor. The pristinely landscaped garden in front of the church has three additional altars for group worship. The church’s entrance displays two precious, original palliums (white cloaks) that were donated by visiting popes: Paul IV in 1964, and John Paul II in 2000.
The eight Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-12:
3Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the Earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called the Sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
11Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
The four Beatitudes in Luke 6:20-22 are set within the Sermon on the Plain.
20 Looking at his disciples, he said:
"Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
