Detailed explanation-1: -According to the Gospels, Jesus began preaching in Galilee, an area in present-day Israel. At first, he preached in synagogues, or Jewish places of worship. Larger and larger crowds gathered to hear him. So Jesus began teaching in open areas-in the street, on hillsides, and by the Sea of Galilee.
Detailed explanation-2: -Christian tradition holds that the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is where Jesus was crucified, buried and rose from the dead. The city includes the Garden of Gesthemane, where Jesus prayed and his disciples slept the night before his Crucifixion, among other sites of significance for believers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Jesus spent a large portion of His life in the small town of Nazareth in northern Galilee. Nazareth was near Sepphoris, which was one of the two major cities in Galilee (Tiberias was the other).
