Pictures from Day 6

The Roman Catholic Church of the Annunciation built over Mary's (Jesus' mother) house  where they believe the annunciation occurred.

A shepherd with his sheep and goats in Nazareth village.

The entrance to a family burial site in Nazareth village. This could hold up to four bodies. After a year the bones are taken out and put in a box and buried in the floor and then it can be used again.

An operating olive press in Nazareth village.

Bakers making the flat bread for our noon meal.

Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation built over Mary's well.

Large water pot similar to what would have been used at the wedding in Cana where Jesus turned the water into wine. Not quite what I would have imagined.
