Acclaimed as the cradle of Christianity, Nazareth is revered as the spot where the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, telling her that she would bear the Son of God. And for 2,000 years, the faithful have embraced a number of sacred sites associated with Jesus. The day begins when you depart the Haifa pier for a one-hour drive through the Jezre'el Valley to Nazareth and the Basilica of the Annunciation; built over the ruins of a 5th century church, it's believed to mark the site of Mary and Joseph's home. Just a few minutes away is the Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation (Church of St. Gabriel) where Mary is said to have lived and where she received Gabriel's message. You'll also visit the Church of St. Joseph dedicated to the earthly father of Jesus. Before calling it a day, you'll mingle with local shoppers at a colorful bazaar.
