Itinerary

1. Sightseeing in Nazareth

   • Meet your tour guide in Nazareth and start your tour.
   • Stand at "the brow of the hill on which the town was built " - Luke 4:28. Listen to a briefing about the location, the history and Jesus's mission in Nazareth and the Galilee next to a briefing on various biblical events that took place in the area. 
   • Standing by the ancient St. Gabriel Greek Orthodox Community Church, see and drink from the well at which Virgin Mary came some 2000 years ago to fill her pot. Feel what is it to be in such a sacred place with a long middle eastern heritage. 
   • Walk through the old city that offers art handicraft shops, cafe's, and many more and feel the atmosphere of the past in a Middle East town. 
   • Hear the various stories on old fading professions and habits that were common until just recently. Pass by the mosque and discuss relationships between religions and cultural commonalities and differences.  
   • Stop by what was a synagogue at Jesus time, The Church of the Synagogue, to hear and discuss the story where Jesus was rejected by his home town (Luke 4). Talk about dramatic changes that you may encounter in your life and how to deal with such changes.  
   • Visit the Basilica of Annunciation, the place where Father God decided to offer his salvation once more. After centuries of the absence of messengers and prophets, the decision was made to send His only Son to talk directly to people: The Word Became Flesh, according to John. You must stand by this unique place and try to live the story. Feel and reflect on what it can mean for you.
   • You will see the crypt and the main basilica and also visit the house and the workshop of St. Joseph and the Holy Family.
