Due to physical EXHAUSTION our group has decided to give you a pictorial for our blog entry today.
We begin…
Bet She’han – During ancient times, it was the 2nd most important city in the region, after Megiddo.
Amphitheater in Bet She’han – Katy got to do a mini-concert for us to show the amazing acoustics in this space.
Aquaducts – Perhaps the most relaxing part of our afternoon, the aqua ducts were located by the Mediterranean Sea, which calmed us all. Perhaps it even reminded us a little of home.
Megiddo – 25 different civilizations settled in this one place at different times. It was an important city because whoever lived here controlled the Yizreal Valley, which was an important caravan trail.
Church of the Annunciation – So-called because it is the traditional site of Mary’s home, and therefore, where Jesus lived as a child. The courtyard and inside the church are surrounded by “Marys” from around the world.
Cana of Galilee – Our last stop was to the church where it is said that Jesus performed his first miracle, turning water into wine. We celebrated in worship with all three tour bus groups. Mary & Jim had an extra special time in the ceremony of renewing their marriage commitment.
