We left Jerusalem this morning for the countryside where Jesus spent his 3 years of ministry. Our first stop was the Valley of Meggido where the last great battle between good and evil is to be fought. The valley spreads out wide and open - you can almost see the battles that have already been fought on that plain - it is an ideal battleground - plenty of retreat options and natural fortifications - what an awesome sight.
We then visited the church of the Annunciation in Nazareth where the angel revealed to Mary that she would give birth to the Christ. From there, Cana; the site of Jesus’ first miracle - the turning of water into wine. The church there has one of the 5 of extant stone jars used to hold the wine - the others are spread out from Rome to Istanbul.
Our day ended with a sunset ride on the Sea of Galilee. We are staying 2 nights here in Tiberias. I may not post again because tomorrow night we’ll begin to re-pack for the flight home which leaves very early Friday Morning (Thursday night to you). I’ll try to at least post a few pics of the day.
