Nazareth

Waterway


St, Joseph's Church







Nestling in a circle of cypress-studded hills, Nazareth was Jesus' home throughout his youth. It was there that he lived, with Mary and Joseph, until he began his ministry. We visited the traditional sites of Joseph's workshop in the Church of St. Joseph; Mary's well, whence she drew water and the Basilica of the Annunciation where the Angel Gabriel is said to have pronounced the wondrous words: " And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus" (Luke 1:31).

Go back to October 6th when the series on Israel started.
