Below is a view of Nazareth from the bus window. Nazareth is a primarily Arab town. Many of the Arab towns are not very prosperous and you can see the piles of trash in the foreground.
The primary stop in Nazareth is the Church of the Annunciation, where it is believed the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary.
The Church of the Annunciation is the largest church in the Middle East.
On the outside walls around the church are elaborate mosaic paintings. Each Mosaic was donated by a different country.
Inside the church is a large translucent dome.
Inside is a small room over the place, where it is traditionally believed that the angel Gabriel announced Jesus birth to Mary.
After Nazareth, we headed off to Tiberias by the Sea of Galilee.
