Day 123: Nazareth and Gailee, Israel

Today went to Nazareth where Jesus grew up saw the old and new parts of Nazareth. Passed by the silicon valley of Israel. The Church of Annunication where many nations donated paintings. Learned that the carvings outside on churches is from the romans influence. Saw carvings of the Angel Gabriel coming to Mary to tell her about Jesus. John the Baptise baptises Jesus. Saw where Jesus turned water into wine. Saw where Jesus was baptized. Jesus called it purification. Jews believe that every number up to 613 has a significance. Jews don't work on Fri. and Sat and just like the Muslims, Christians it's of course Sat. and Sun. Went to the Sea of Galiee. Jesus had 12 disciplies which represents the 12 states of Israel. Zion is the name for the Hewbrew word for Jersualem, that's what people refere to when they say the Zionist movement.
