Nazareth, Israel: Basilica of the Annunciation; things to do

Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth, Israel

Basilica of the Annunciation 

A modern Roman Catholic church in Nazareth holds Mary’s Well--the grotto on its lower level that was the cave home of Mary and the site of the Annunciation (when an angel told Mary she was going to bear the son of God).  This is the largest Christian church in the Middle East.
