[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 11/2016 - Israel - Church of the Anunciation

This is called Mary's Well where the Annunciation event happened . It is  inside the Greek Orthodox church of the Annunciation in Nazareth, Northern Israel.  This site and the city of Nazareth are among the most sacred places in the Christian world.  If you look closely in the hole there is still water flowing freely. Those pieces of paper at the bottom are dropped by visitors of the church who writes their wishes and/or petitions.

This church was established over the site where the Catholic tradition holds to be the house of Virgin Mary, and where angel Gabriel appeared to her and announced that she would conceive and bear the Son of God, Jesus – an event known as the Annunciation.
