Mount Carmel Photos

Biblical References: "Carmel" in Hebrew means "garden" or "fruitful land". Mount Carmel is, in fact, a range between the coastal plain and the Valley of Jezreel or Esdraelon. Carmel receives a mention in Amos 1.2; 9.3; Nahum 1.4. Most notably, however, Mount Carmel is the place where Elijah gathered the people, together with the prophets of Baal and Asherah, and won a notable victory against them.
