Not so beautiful of a place!

Caesarea Philippi - an oddly beautiful area, but unfortunately an area known for pagan worship - in particular Pan (half goat/half man with flute). There is a cave there that is know as a gate to hell. It’s with that background that Peter makes his confession “you are the Christ, the son of God... and Jesus responds even the gates of hell can not over power his church...” The whole wall by the cave is full of different size niches that held statues of pagan gods.
