The hometown of Jesus where He grew up and began His ministry, located in the hills of Galilee.
Nazareth is where Mary received the announcement from Angel Gabriel (Luke 1:26-38), where Jesus spent His childhood and early adulthood, and where He was rejected when He began His ministry (Luke 4:16-30).
Nazareth was a small Jewish village in the first century, with an estimated population of 200-400 people. The Basilica of the Annunciation, built over the traditional site where Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, is now one of the largest churches in the Middle East.
