It all start on the top of the mountain above. Standing on the Mount Precipice, also known as Mount of Precipitation, Mount of the Leap of the Lord overlooking the city of Nazareth. This is where the Magdala mission was envisioned.

It is believed by some to be the site of the Rejection of Jesus described in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 4:29-30). According to the story, the people of Nazareth, not accepting Jesus as Messiah tried to push him from the mountain, but "he passed through the midst of them and went away."
