Israel Trip - Peter's Primacy

St. Peter's Primacy is this place around the Sea of Galilee where Jesus told Peter to "Feed my Sheep" signifying that He gave Peter the authority over his church. A statue stood to signify this event. There is a small chapel by the shore which stood where an older church use to stand. In fact the stone foundations of the old church are still visible. Inside the chapel was a stone (mensa christi) believed to be the very stone where Jesus served his disciples fish. Our guide read to us some bible passages to explain the significance of this place.
