My trip here was an experience unlike most who journey here. The grounds and church were empty, due to Covid-19. I spent a while wandering around the outside, marveling at the breathtaking murals representing a variety of nations. The architecture is gorgeous, with beautiful reliefs and inscriptions, in both the stone structure and wooden doors. The interior of the church is marvelous and brings great reverence to the archaeological site which sits at the center of the interior. The remains are extraordinary and quite well preserved. The columns are something to behold, as well as the inscriptions. I was awestruck at the architectural design of the atrium and the domed overhead. The quiet atmosphere struck an awesome tone, impressing upon me the nature of this location.

This is the most famous and important Church in Nazareth. Built by the Franciscan order on the site of anceint Churches that stood here in the 4th and 12th century. Archaeological remains of the Byzantine and Crusader structures are embbed into the modern building.

Visiting during the Covid-19 pandemic was a blessing, in so much as the church grounds were near empty. We were able to calmly walk around the courtyard and observe each of the mosaics picturing Mary. I enjoyed the quietude. Be sure to take a covering like a scarf or shaw. Women are not permitted without one. (My shirt was sleeveless.)

This is the place of Mother Mary's home. It was here that Angel Gabriel appeared to her to convey Our Father's message choosing her to be the mother of Jesus. And it was here that Mary said 'yes'. This place doesn't have the prehistoric architectural look since it was built in 1969. Nevertheless a beautiful place to be in person and feel the holy vibes.

It was a nice to see such a heritage. Very beautiful and its built on 3 floor. All floors have interesting facts to see and learn. It was rebuilt around 1970. Only place or you can say must visit if you are in Nazareth. You might find little bit of traffic.

The design of the church is amazing, totally different atmosphere of the upper and lower part of the church. God’s glory filled with the upper level while humble humanity found in the lower level. A church with such rich of theological sense.
