The architect of the Temple of the Annunciation - Giovanni Muzio used the principle of architectural brutalism at the ground floor of the temple and called for various sculptors, stained-glass artisans, and painters to decorate the second floor. The purpose of Muzio was to show the difference and versatility of the image of the Holy Virgin in the national characteristics of Catholic peoples while drawing the central common thread of the image of humility, mercy, love, and motherhood.
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!
