Nazaret is very important to Christians because, according to the Bible, the years of Jesus' private life were spent here. and Galilea also is important because it was the place where according to the Gospels, Jesus' transfiguration occurred

So evocative a land, yet so tormented...looks beautiful from high above, and some way reassuring and auspicious. Contrasts cannot last forever.
