Israel Tour Day Four

Day four of our trip started off by going to the River Jordan at the spot where many believe that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. What a joy to experience getting baptized and baptizing in the Jordan! Unforgettable. We then drove to Cana to visit the place where Jesus performed his first miracle of turning water into wine. Then to Nazareth to a mock up village to see how it may have looked at the time of Jesus. We visited the Church of the Annunciation, the supposed place where the angel Gabriel announced the birth of Messiah to Mary. Short drive to Beit Shean and visited the beautiful excavations and Roman theater. Simply amazing architecture. We ended the day on the Mount of Olives overloooking Jerusalem just as the sun was going down. What an amazing day this was! Make plans to come with me maybe next year or two.
