In Nazareth, the only stop we made was the Church of Annunciation. This church is famous not only because it's the biggest basilica in the Middle East, but also because it's the church established upon a grotto - the remains of Mary's childhood home. Many Christians believe that this was also the Holy Site where Angel Gabriel announced to the blessed Virgin Mary that she would perceive a son whom she should name Jesus, meaning Saviour.
