ОПИСАНИЕ ЭКСКУРСИИ

Nazareth is the largest city in Northern Israel.  This is the city where Mary spent her childhood, according to the New Testament.  There are a lot of shrines dedicated to biblical events that happened in Nazareth.  Christians make the pilgrimage to Nazareth throughout the year. 

Acre dates back to the early Bronze Age or about 3000 B.C., making it one of the oldest cities to be continuously inhabited.  There are many holy cites here, and Acre is most holy to the Baha'i religion.  It is a very large melting pot for many religions.

Capernaum used to be a fishing village.  Excavators found two synagogues that were built on top of each other. There is the original mosaic floor from the first synagogue showing through.
