The Church of The Primacy of St. Peter, also known as The Place of Coals, located on The Sea of Galilee, this small church is the site of where Jesus instructed Peter to throw his net back on the other side when he was having a bad fishing day, Peter did as he was told and turned out catching 153 fish.
John 21:9 “When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with bread and fish on it”
The stone in front of the altar at this church is said to be the “table” where Jesus served the Apostles bread and fish for breakfast.
