The Horns of Hattin together make up the Mount of Beatitudes, where the sermon was delivered. Standing on the top of the highest peak of this sacred mount one can survey the whole country where most of the mighty works of Christ were done. To the east, three miles away, is the Sea of Galilee, and rising beyond is the Gadarene country. To the west is Cana of Galilee, and to the north is Mount Hermon. The Horns of Hattin, or the Mount of Beatitudes, stands about half a mile distant from the road leading from Nazareth to the Sea of Galilee. The sides of the Mount are covered by a thick growth of prickly pears and briars." See 5443BAI/LVii169CAJS (Voyager # 362732).
