“Feed my sheep” (John 21:17)
A Franciscan church is also known as Menza Christie. The church commemorates an event that took place forty days after the resurrection of Jesus before his ascension into heaven. According to the narrator, Peter and John engaged in fishing without success. Only after Jesus was revealed to them were their nets filled with fish and thus eaten to satiety. Jesus then makes Peter his successor.
Jesus lived in this area for three years, from the moment he left Nazareth until he arrived in Jerusalem for the last week of his life. In this area, he gathered his disciples and showed his ability to make miracles.
Commemorates one of the great miracles of Christ – feeding 5,000 people with Loaves and Fish. This is a very unusual miracle since it is not personal but for mass, which testifies to the great power of Christ to the universality of his gospel. The food is material but also symbolizes the presentation of its gospel to the people. The disciples who serve the food to the masses are the 12 apostles who will carry the gospel to all mankind.
Nazareth was a Jewish village where Jesus grew up and was educated and spent his birthdays, youth, and freedom. Nazareth is sacred to Christians also because it sheds light on the sacred family, which originates from Nazareth, especially Miriam (Mary), the mother of Jesus. This is where every Christian believes in miraculously elevating the qualities of Miriam. In present times Nazareth is mostly populated by Muslims and a minority of Christian Arabs, but its main attractions for most visitors relate to Jesus and Christian history.
Church of the Annunciation is one of the Middle East’s largest and most splendid churches. The church was designed by Italian architect Giovanni Motzio and was built in 1969. The church sanctifies by Christian tradition the location of Mother Mary’s house and the very place where an angel appeared to Mary and announced that she has been impregnated by the holy spirit.
If time permits: Cana located 4 miles from Nazareth. The village is sacred to Christians because according to tradition in this place about 2000 years ago, Jesus performed the first miracle – turning water into wine during a wedding. The church is built on remains from the Byzantine period (4th-6th centuries). Many Christian pilgrims today celebrate in the church the “renewal of marriage vows” ceremony.
