The modern temple is lined with limestone rocks of various densities, which allows the architect to create a beautiful game of white, yellowish, and pink colors. On the upper register of the pediment, you can see the Virgin Mary and the Archangel Gabriel, below are four Evangelists with their attributes. There is an inscription along the pediment in Latin that tells us that the Word became flesh and resided among us.
We decided to go to Nazareth for Christmas. But very quickly, we realized that it is possible and necessary to come to Nazareth without any particular reason. It is a very self-sufficient, authentic, traditional, and modern city with a good spirit, smiling people, and delicious food. We took a walk from Maria’s well through the streets of the old town to the colorful bazaar, the white mosque, the synagogue church, the Church of the Annunciation and the Church of the House of Joseph, the Museum of cave-dwelled Nazareth, Fahome Coffee Shop, Alreda Restaurant, and Tishreen Restaurant. It was a wonderful trip!
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
