IX Caesarea

About the artwork

A biblical site that Herod “The great” just before Christ build, it became the largest port for Israel. He was also responsible for the construction of the Second temple, Masada, Herodian etc. After the apostle Paul received Christ he was sent to Tarsus from this very port but it was also the place where he was in prison for 2 years. Cornelius the the first Gentile who also lived here received the Holy Spirit, and so it became the starting point for many conversions. Caesarea being coined for a place of encountering Jesus is very important for us because God is still using this land for people to experience a life-changing encounter with His son through the Holy Spirit just as so many people of history did.
