The Probert Encyclopaedia of Places of the World

GALILEE

Galilee, in the time of Jesus Christ, was the most northern province of Palestine, bounded on the east by the river Jordan, on the south by Samaria, on the west by the Mediterranean Sea and Phoenicia, and on the north by Syria and the Mountains of Lebanon. It was in some sense the cradle of Christianity, Nazareth, Cana, Capernaum, Nain, and other places being intimately associated with the life of Jesus.

The Sea of Galilee is an alternative name for Lake Tiberias in northern Israel.
