Oh, that whale is one of my favourite sculptures in Jaffa. We usually park our car near then when we visit ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi! The Tel Aviv photo is very beautiful. I know the Jonah story. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJaffa a wonderful mix of old and new! The whale sculpture is amazing. Thanks for hosting every week, Sue!
ReplyDeleteI'm always in awe of the art that they have in the domes (ceilings) of these churches.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place and that church too. You have captured lovely interior details!
ReplyDeleteExciting shots, I love the whale and the imagination it sparks. I met someone who was moving back to Tel Aviv and very excited to be doing so.
ReplyDeleteEvery shot of yours is truly charming, but I have to admit that I'm so amazed at the dome of the Church of Saint Peter, it's gorgeous !

What a beautiful church! Have a wonderful week
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about why they took to the story of Jonah and the Whale? IS there a story behind the statue?
ReplyDeleteYes, Lydia. See the book of Jonah, in the Old Testament. The story is set in Jaffa. It's only four short chapters long and very easy to read.
DeleteGorgeous church!
ReplyDeleteYou capture everything in a way that I feel like I'm roaming those streets. Thank you!

Beautiful photos. I like the contrast between the church, biblical reference of Jonah, and the minaret.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design inside the church. Love the last photo. Thank you, Sue for hosting.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a city we hear much about. Don't know why - perhaps in the shadow of Tel Aviv?
