In the Scriptures, mountains perform a variety of functions, a rule common for all ancient civilizations, which associated them with worship. It is on a hill where the dialogue with God takes place. Jehovah reveals Himself in the mountains and there His will is proclaimed. The Hebrews respected the mountains and believed that they were an area that is divinized, where one can feel the presence of the Creator ruling over the world. As a result, Jehovah is praised in the hills. The mountains are also connected with the activity of Jesus, who repeatedly prays on the them and proclaims his blessings there. His transfiguration and takes place on a mountain and He dies on the mount of Calvary. Mountains are places of meeting – God and men. In the Holy Bible they are an inseparable element of religious culture.
