Location: Galilee
Themes: Saint

Jesus gathers disciples, preaches the Kingdom of God and is remembered as a healer and teacher in Galilee and Judea. At this point in the timeline (c. 28), there was not yet a Christian church; the Jewish people lived under a succession of Seleucid, Hasmonean, Herodian and Roman rulers, and religious life centred on the Temple in Jerusalem and its high priests.

## Why it matters
Ministry of Jesus in Galilee mattered because it shaped how Christians understand God, Christ, salvation and the church.
