The photographs were taken by the Vicar, Rev. G. Gittings. The photograph on the left was taken by Lake Galilee where Jesus met Peter after the Resurrection and asked if he loved Him. The centre is of the Garden of Gethsemane and the right is of the Church of the Holy Nativity at Bethlehem. If you would like a photograph emailing on any subject out of the vast collection of photographs that the Vicar has please email him and every effort will be made to match your choice of subject with a photograph or drawing.
