The Synagogue Church of Nazareth

If you would like to learn a bit more about Jesus' life in Nazareth, a trip to Israel to the Synagogue Church of Nazareth would be an enriching experience. Much of Jesus' life is unknown to us, which is why scholars have dubbed much of His life as "the silent years", which is why the Synagogue Church of Nazareth is such an important place for Christians to visit as it is where the silence was broken so the speak. It is believed that this is where Jesus preached for the first time on Isaiah 61 (Luke 4:16-27) and received a negative response (Luke 4:28-30). For visitors on Israel tours it is also nice to note that the Synagogue Church is located a short walk from the Old Market. This is a very popular pilgrimage destination and has been so since the 6th century-it was adopted by the Greek Catholics in 1771. The Synagogue Church of Nazareth is the perfect place to experience important biblical history on your pilgrimage to Israel.
