Nazareth. The city of Nazareth. Of course, it was not such a large city in the time of Jesus. You will see the Basilica of the Annunciation. Inscribed are these words: Verbum Caro HIC factum est: "The Word HERE became flesh." Different churches have been built on the same spot of the Incarnation of the Lord at the house of Mary, which was just a cave. At that time they had not the notion to leave things as they are; they used to build churches over, and in this way we lost the originals.
