The Church of St. Gabriel

Israel Holy Land tours give visitors a rare chance to experience visiting important and symbolic biblical sites, such as the Church of St. Gabriel. Located in the village where Jesus spent his childhood, the Church of St. Gabriel commemorates the event when Gabriel told Mary about her conception of the messiah. Though it's unclear as to exactly where Gabriel delivered this news in Nazareth (Luke 1:26-38), it has been imagined that it may have been done at the spring where she would have come daily to draw water like the other girls of the village. The Church of St. Gabriel is still an active church and certainly worth a visit during your Israel travel.
