Selected? It just cannot be any other way. Galilee is when (not where) purgation takes place in the mind of the believer which can only begin after the immaculate conception gives birth to the child within. For this conception to be immaculate the woman, here called Mary, must remain sinless and thus free from the influence of Judaism. Judaism-as-a-whole is pitted against things-as-they-are in the mind of the believer during this final battle of the mind for which Mary proclaimed the greatness of the Lord who was not a Jew by any stretch of the imagination.

Galilee is equal to our Purgatory and that is when the transformation of mind soul and body must take place . . . or there is no transformation at all.

Sorry, I just wrote this to show that if the value of the story is in the myth the location and history are just needed the hang it on.
