On the ground floor of the church, which is a large and spacious hall with dim lighting, is a part of the cave, the former home of the Virgin Mary. Here you can also see fragments of mosaics and walls of the time of the Crusaders. On the second floor of the temple is a modern parish Catholic church.
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!
