DAY 1: DEPARTURE

FROM NAZARETH

(The First Day)

ܝܰܘܡܳܐ ܚܰܕ

The town of Nazareth

This image captures a realistic, first-century reconstruction of Jesus' hometown, Nazareth, sitting in the rugged limestone hills of Lower Galilee. Nazareth at this time was a tiny, tight-knit agricultural hamlet with a population estimated at only 200 to 400 people—essentially a few extended families living together.

1st-Century Nazareth Home Excavation This rare aerial view captures a modest, two-room residential home unearthed in 2009, dating exactly to the time of Jesus. The discovery of unique Jewish chalk stone vessels inside finally proved to skeptics that Nazareth was indeed a real, functioning first-century village where working-class families lived a quiet, ordinary life.

Sisters of Nazareth Archaeological Site

Hidden beneath a modern convent in downtown Nazareth lies this remarkable first-century courtyard house, partially carved directly out of the natural limestone bedrock and partially constructed with fieldstone walls. Centuries later, Byzantine Christians were so convinced this exact structure was the home where Mary and Joseph raised Jesus that they built a grand monument—the "Church of the Nutrition"—directly on top of it to protect it. Today, the gallery view reveals ancient rock doorways, carved thresholds, and later Crusader-era masonry built to preserve what many archaeologists consider the most compelling physical candidate for Jesus’ childhood home.

This is one of the most famous agricultural discoveries in the area. It is located on a hillside that is now part of Nazareth Village—an open-air living history museum built on actual first-century farmland just a short walk from the ancient village center. You can see the shallow, flat limestone floor where grapes were trodden, leading down to the deeper collection vat.

Kokhim burial tomb

Discovered beneath the Sisters of Nazareth convent, this pristine 1st-century Kokhim burial tomb features deep horizontal shafts cut into the limestone walls. Because Jewish law strictly forbade burying the dead within the residential borders of a town, this tomb serves as a physical boundary marker for modern archaeologists, showing exactly where the living village of Nazareth ended and the silent hills began.

"The limestone paths around Nazareth are thick with wild mustard plants. Growing up to 10 feet tall from a tiny seed —It's no wonder Jesus compared the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed.”
