Mount Tabor in the north of Israel

Mount Tabor is located in the north of Israel, at the eastern end of the Jezreel Valley, 18 kilometres (11 mi) west of the Sea of Galilee. At a height of 588 metres, it towers over the surrounding landscape, visible from afar.

According to Christian tradition, the Transfiguration of Christ took place on the summit of Mount Tabor, during which the Christ revealed himself to his most trusted disciples Peter, James and John through the Tabor light in his transfiguration form, which corresponds to the Sambhogakaya of the Buddha.
