Galilee is a region in northern Israel. Traditionally refers to the mountainous part and divide into Upper Galilee and Lower Galilee. In the modern common usage Galilee refers to all of the Israeli area that is beyond Mount Carmel to the northeast, extending from Dan to the north, at the base of Mount Hermon, along Mount Lebanon to the ridges of Mount Carmel and Mount Gilboa north of Jenin to the south, and from the Jordan Rift Valley to the east across the plains of the Jezreel Valley and Acre to teh shores of the Mediterranean Sea and the coastal plain in the west, including Beth Shean’s valley, Sea of Galilee’s valley, and Hula Valley, although practically it usually does not include Haifa’s immediate northern suburbs. By this definition it overlaps with much of the administrative Northern District of the country (which also includes the Golan Heights and part of Menashe Heights but not Qiryat Tiv’on. Western Galilee is a common term referring to the western part of the Upper Galilee and its shore, and usually also the northwestern part of the Lower Galilee, mostly overlapping with Acre sub district. Galilee Panhandle is a common term referring to the Israeli “panhandle” in the east that extends to the north, where Lebanon is to the west, and is best known as the place where, according to the Fourth Gospel, Jesus performed “the first of his signs”, his first public miracle, the turning of a large quantity of water into wine at a weeding feat (John 2:1-11) when the wine provided by the bridegroom had run out. Although none of the synoptic gospels record the event, mainstream Christian tradition holds that this is the first public miracle of Jesus.
