Kursi, on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, lay unknown for many centuries until pieces of Byzantine pottery were noticed in the trail of a bulldozer constructing a new road to the Golan Heights in 1970. Then the remains of the largest Byzantine monastery complex in Israel were discovered . . . .
A headlong stampede by a herd of demon-possessed pigs into the Sea of Galilee is remembered at Kursi, a picturesque site beneath the Golan Heights on the eastern side of the lake.
