 The Full Itinerary: Scenic, Jewish, and Christian Heritage in the Galilee

• Gateway to the Galilee – Megiddo and Caesarea: Our journey north will lead us past the ruins of Caesarea, the ancient Roman metropolis, and Biblical Megiddo, often equated with Armageddon (Revelation 16:16).
• Nazareth – City of the Annunciation: We will reach the heart of the Galilee, Nazareth, where we will visit the main sites associated with Jesus:
  • The Church of the Annunciation: The largest church in Israel, believed by tradition to be built over the home of Mary, the mother of Jesus, where her miraculous pregnancy was announced to her.
  • The Church of St. Joseph: The humbler church considered to be the place where Jesus grew up.
