All Hotels near Mount Hermon in Lebanon
In religion, Mount Hermon is a high place near God. Jesus and His disciples journeyed north from Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee to the city of Caesarea Philippi ( Known as Marjeyoun nowadays) at the southern base of Mount Hermon. There, Jesus revealed to them His purpose to build His Church and to go to Jerusalem to die and be resurrected.
Mount Hermon was the site of the Transfiguration, where Jesus took three of His disciples, Peter, James, and John, up on a high mountain for prayer. Before their eyes, Jesus was transfigured. He became radiantly white and conversed with Moses and Elijah, who had appeared beside Him. The disciples’ amazement and fear were further increased, when a voice from heaven exclaimed, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him!".
This mountain marks the end of the Anti-Lebanon range. It has three peaks, of which the highest is 2,814 metres.
The Church of Saint Peter the Promise at Marjeyoun witnesses the importance of the region in Jesus life Jesus' statement that, "And I tell you, you are Peter [Cephas], and on this Rock I will build My church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it".
