Reflection:
Nazareth- 1st Century replica village of Nazareth town as it was 2,000 years ago. 1st century synagogue and donkey driven olive press. wine press carved into rock and carpenters house. John 1:46




Dan- Gate to Dan from time of Israelite Kingdom 1,000BC. Numerous references to Dan in the Old Testament. Ruins from high altar and largest freshwater spring in the Middle East, still flowing strong. Beautiful nature preserve.
  
Caesarea Philippi- The grotto and sanctuary of god Pan. Location where Simon Peter received name “Peter” from Jesus and is given keys to the kingdom from Jesus. Matthew 16:13-20







 The Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth. The grotto under the church is the “House of Mary” where the Word became flesh. Luke 1:26-38.
