- Church Of Annunciation - This grand basilica is traditionally believed to be located over the Virgin Mary’s house, where the Annunciation took place. The unique architecture, diverse artistic gifts from various countries and communities, and the sacred Cave of Annunciation itself are highlights. But why does it appear so modern, and what lies beneath? How did Nazareth appear during Jesus’ time?
- St. Joseph’s Church - Traditionally considered the site of St. Joseph’s workshop, where he taught Jesus carpentry. But what did Jesus do during his years in Nazareth? What was this place previously? And why is there a Jewish mikveh in the crypt?
- Nazareth - The largest city in Galilee, where Christians and Muslims coexist. Explore the streets, the square, and the market. How about enjoying some coffee and sweets?
- Mary’s Well - The spring of Nazareth, where people, including the Virgin Mary, collected water before the centralization of the water supply system, served as a gathering place for Nazareth’s residents. It is also a symbol of the city.
- Cana of Galilee - A small town that was once a central city during Jesus’ time, where Jesus performed his first miracle of turning water into wine. Visit the spring of Cana, the water source, and the churches surrounding the traditional site of the first miracle on the journey from Nazareth to the Sea of Galilee.
- Magdala - Pass by Magdala, the remnants of the town on the Sea of Galilee where Jesus met Mary Magdalene, who was born there.
- Mount Of Beatitudes - The site of Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount. Visit the church built by Italian master Antonio Barluzzi at the summit, then descend to Tabgha to see the Church of the Multiplication and the remains of a Byzantine church dedicated to the Sermon on the Mount.
- Church of the Multiplication - The traditional site where Jesus fed 5,000 people by multiplying five loaves of bread and two fish. Visit the modern replica of the Byzantine church with an authentic fifth-century floor, featuring the renowned mosaic of Loaves and Fishes. But why is part of the floor black and white and part in color? And why are there only four loaves of bread in the famous mosaic?
- Capharnaum the Town of Jesus - Capernaum, known as the Town of Jesus, where he spent three years after leaving Nazareth, performed many miracles, walked on water, and met five of his twelve disciples. It was abandoned after a devastating earthquake in the eighth century. Visit the White Synagogue built over the Synagogue of Jesus, the remains of Domus Ecclesia, the Byzantine Church built over St. Peter’s house, and the ultra-modern “suspended” church built over them. Why did St. Matthew work as a tax collector in the town? Why is the Synagogue near the Church, and why does it resemble a Roman building? And why is it the only white building here?
- Sea of Galilee - Israel’s largest lake, abundant with fresh water and fish, and the setting for many biblical stories, surrounded by Galilee, the Jordan Valley, and the Golan Heights. What do we see around us? Is it entirely fresh? And why is it called Kinneret in Hebrew? Let’s touch the water!
- Yardenit - The Baptismal Site on the Jordan River. Experience the unique atmosphere, and admire the natural colors. If you wish to be baptized here, you have the time and opportunity. If not, observe others and enjoy the surroundings. Try local products made from dates. But is this the actual site of Jesus’ baptism, and why are there two baptismal sites on the same river?
