Annotations

The building of modern Church of the Primacy of Saint Peter is located directly on the north bank of the Sea of ​​Galilee in Galilee in Israel. The chapel marks the place assumed by tradition, where Jesus have appeared at the lake after his resurrection and  have held the breakfast r with his disciples at which Peter was commissioned. The current chapel is probably the sixth church building in this location. The pilgrim Egeria already mentions a church here in the late 4th century, from which twelve steps carved into the rock led to the lake on the lake side. Another church was built in the 5th century, but was probably destroyed in the Persian storm in 614. The fourth building was built at the end of the 7th or thebeginning of the 8th century.
