Nazareth Market Review

Nazareth is a small village not far from Lake Galilee, quiet and peaceful, the home of Joseph and the Virgin Mary, the birthplace of the Lord Jesus, who has lived here for more than thirty years, and all this small town is sacred to the hearts of the churchgoers

Drive a long way to Nazareth to see this Angelic Church. Five churches were built around the same location, and although the old church dates back a long time ago, the fifth church built in 1966 is still too new. However, there are still some old relics to see in the church. The four walls of the church courtyard have murals of "Virgin and Holy Child" presented by various countries. They really have their own characteristics, one person is thousands of faces. If it is not for believers, or if you don't drive by yourself, then I think I can go to this place. The special significance of Nazareth is that it is the place where Jesus was born and raised.

下午前往耶稣的母亲圣母玛利亚的故乡拿撒勒，参观天主报喜堂。天主报喜堂是中东最大的教堂，内部布局肃穆华美。相传圣母玛利亚在这里由圣灵感孕，基督耶稣在这里长大。教堂正门两侧分别是镌刻着圣经的《新约》和《旧约》，右手边的回廊里布满了全球各地以圣母报喜为题材的艺术作品，来自CHINA的作品画风独特，而虔诚的教徒则静静地坐在教堂的角落里深思，冥想。

这个城市令人无法让人忘怀之处，是他同时是以色列最大的阿拉伯城市，也是圣经中重要的朝圣地点。最重要的景點大概是Basilica of the Annunciation。在外观上十分吸引人。最重要的是在其底部，据说是聖母瑪莉亞獲知自己受孕的所在，也是天使報喜的所在。很有意思~~我在出发前tb上买了以色列旅游攻略，介绍到这段，很有意思。

到拿撒勒的主要目的是参观天使报喜堂，也由此开始了与基督教的亲密接触。也开始慢慢地了解了犹太教、基督教、天主教、东正教之间的关系和每个宗教的主要特征。
