Holy Land Day 4

We left Tiberias, drove Cana (water into wine), went to Nazareth (Mary annunciation and Joseph workshop, Synagogue Luke 4:16) lost and found and broken hips, Migida, tomb on the highway, and then Ceaserea (aquaduct, crusaders fort, roman coleseum). Naptime and back.

Good Evening

This morning we were still in Galilee. We left Tiberias and crossed the mountains to the west. Our first site was traveling through the town of Cana where Jesus changed water into wine (John 2:1-11). We did not stop, but drove through the town. Next, we went to Nazareth. Here, we visited the Church of Annunciation. This is to remember where the angels appeared to Mary to tell her she would be pregnant. From there we walked to a church built over the grotto where Joseph lived. Then, we went to the Synagogue. Luke 4:16-27 references this. In the synagogue I read the passage to our group, it was a moving experience.

After Nazareth, we went to Migida – armegeddon – where the battles for the end of the earth are predicted to occur. What is of importance today is there are 25 cities buried here. They are one atop the other and the archaelogical ruins are spectacular. A tunnel system was dug for the inhabitants to retrieve water from a well if they were under siege.

Next – Cesarea – roman ruins and an aquaduct along the Mediteranean Sea. Lastly, the drive back to Jerusalem through Tel-Aviv. I slept . I am exhausted.

Tomorrow, Jerusalem – churches and the Western Wall of the Temple.
