    Church of the Annunciation

     December 12, 2018 in Israel ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    After visiting the Church of Cana we drove in to Nazareth which is where Jospeh and Mary spent most of their lives. Here we visited the Church of the Annunciation which is where the Angel appeared to Mary asking her to have a child and name him Jesus. We celebrated mass here and also viewed first century ruins of Mary’s house. The basilica was built on these ruins.Read more

    Mary of Nazareth International Centre

     December 12, 2018 in Israel ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    This centre was fantastic and was dedicated to the miracle that is Mary. We viewed a movie that had been created to portray the story of Jesus’ life and how Mary was connected to that. We also visited the Chapel of Unity where they had all the miracles as Icons. This chapel was absolutely beautiful.

    Nazareth - Verkündigungskirche

     December 28, 2018 in Israel ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

    Nächster Stopp ist Nazareth. Die Stadt an sich ist nicht besonders hübsch, aber die Verkündigungskirche ist beeindruckend und unbedingt einen Besuch wert. Der Verkehr und die Parkplatzsituation sind katastrophal, aber nach einigem Suchen und viel Geduld ergattern wir doch noch einen Parkplatz und machen uns auf den Weg zur Verkündigungskirche. In der Grotte unter der Kirche stehen noch die Reste des Wohnhauses von Maria, wo ihr der Erzengel erschienen sein soll. Entlang der Wände des Hofes sind Abbildungen von Maria und dem Jesuskind aus aller Welt angebracht.Read more

    Photos are of sitting on a ridge close to Nazareth with Jack teaching and then just a night shot of Nazareth from the monastery we were staying. The other post has more details on our stay here.

    Morning in Nazareth

     June 2, 2015 in Israel ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    I have a quick moment and a hint of wifi, so I thought I would try to post. Just a quick update on our travels yesterday that landed us here in Nazareth. This is as much for me to remember as for you to read.

    We started the day heading to the coast and Caesarea Maritima, yet another monument to the incredible genis and diaboloical nature of Herod the Great. Unlike an architect like Frank Lloyd Wright who tried to work with the landscape, Herod's goal was to subdue it. The seaport he built at Caesarea Martitima was a momumental achievement to this end. He used a relatively unknown medium (concrete the hardens underwater) to build his seaport. He brought in something like 400 ships, each loaded with 44 tons of the stuff needed to make the concrete. He had people working for him who would dredge the harbor there by hand. Yes, swim down with containers and and bring up sand to be hauled away. Herod's way of thinking was just so grand. Nothing was out of the realm of possibility. Caesarea is also the place where Peter came to share the gospel with the Gentiles for the first time and where Paul was imprisoned for two years.

    We headed back east along Mt. Carmel to a place to overlook the Jezreel Valley, then on to Meggido. Meggido was such an important town in ancient history and although Biblical events are limited on that very spot it was in close proximity to some good ones. Wish I had a bit more time to post, but people are starting to file in for breakfast. :)

    Anyway, we ended the day in modern Nazareth (literally thousands of times larger than tiny ancient Nazareth). It's hard to get a feel for ancient Nazareth amid the car horns and blaring techno music, but if you try hard enough, as always, you can get a sense of the place. Small town. VERY small town. A town where one would not want to suddenly be "pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit." Joy was shared by families and from family to family. So was shame.

    Mary was a lot braver than I am.

    Sorry for the limited post. I'll get you next time when we get to Galilee tonight.    Read more

    The Annunciation

     March 7, 2017 in Israel ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    We are in Nazareth! My favorite place we have visited so far...to be fair, it's our first day! This is the town where the Holy family once lived and where Mary grew up. We visited the Byzantine Church of St. Joseph. Tradition identifies this place as the workshop and home of the Holy Family. Father Neil led us in Mass of the Annunciation and found it very moving to pray in front of all the picturesNext to the Church of St. Joseph is the Church of the Annunciation, which stands over the cave of the home of the Virgin Mary. Below the Church is Mary's Well where the angel Gabriel announced to the Virgin Mary that she will bear the Son of God.Read more

    Nazareth, Israel

     November 8, 2011 in Israel ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    We decided to go to Nazareth by local bus it cost 28 Shekels each return, that's about £5.
    So, the busses are great value and comfortable.
    The journey took about 1 hour each way so we got to see quite a lot of the countryside.
    Btw the busses are every 10 minutes, we could learn a lesson from the Israelies.
    I can definitely recommend it as a way to visit Nazareth from Haifa.
    Just in case anyone actually reads this, the bus is the number 331 and you get it at the little bus terminus right outside the port, and the port entrance is 4 to 5 minutes stroll from the ship.
    If you want to get a taxi instead the ones outside the port entrance are cheaper than the ones right by the ship.    Read more
