Church of the Apostles
The Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Apostles, in common use simply Church of the Apostles (Hebrew: כנסיית השליחים, "Knessiath haShlichim"; Greek language: Εκκλησία Αποστόλων) is the church at the centre of the Greek Orthodox Monastery of the Holy Apostles at Capernaum, standing among the ruins of ancient Capernaum ("Kfar Nachum") near the shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. It is also known as simply the Greek Orthodox church at Capernaum, to differentiate it from the Franciscan monastery standing in the southern part of Capernaum. It is sometimes named as the "Church of the Seven Apostles", based on the seven disciples mentioned in John 21 (), but it is actually dedicated to all the twelve apostles of Jesus.
