Jesus 'miracle church': Jewish extremist found guilty of arson

3 July 2017 Middle East

A Jewish extremist has been convicted of setting fire to a church in Israel which Christians believe is built at the site of one of Jesus' miracles.

Yinon Reuveni set light to the Roman Catholic church at Tabgha, on the Sea of Galilee, in 2015, the court found.

It is said to be where Jesus performed the miracle of the loaves and fishes, also known as the Feeding of the 5,000.

The attack caused extensive damage to a shop and other buildings in the complex at the Church of the Multiplication.

However, the blaze did not destroy the 5th Century mosaic floors, a key feature of the otherwise modern church built at the site.

1. Church of the Multiplication is so last millennium.

Now it's all "Church of the Division."

I look forward to the Church of the Gradient, personally.

2. I'm holding out for the multi-denominational Church Of The Everloving PEMDAS. (n/t)
