Nazareth Gospel Sites

“This book’s relating of the biblical accounts to the sites of Nazareth that we know today is a welcome contribution.” ~ Ray Pritz Ph.D, former Director, Biblical Society in Israel Although the centre of modern Nazareth has no archaeological evidence of a city in the time of Jesus, the Catholic Church of the Annunciation is the most likely location for the encounter of the Virgin Mary with the angel Gabriel. Furthermore, verifiable remains of a large Jewish city in 4 BC have been discovered in Nazareth’s outer suburbs at Yafia. The mystery of Nazareth involving these two localities can now be explained.
