If you like ancient mosaics, you should visit Tzippori too. I haven’t written my post about that yet, but it has a lot of mosaics.

I’m not religious either, but religious sites can be so important, both culturally and historically, that I love to visit them.

Even though I am not religious I love visiting Biblical sites as they have such historic and cultural significance.

Sounds like a great place to visit

I still have a few more posts to add from this trip to Israel! I wish I’d seen that billboard in Nazareth!

I dropped my phone (camera) at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, so I’m short on photos from our trip. We stayed in Nazareth for two nights in a hostel in an old Arab inn. We found Nazareth to be a slightly uneasy mix of Jewish, Muslim and Christian heritage. There was a large billboard in the center of town urging Christians to realize that Jesus was only a garden variety prophet, not the son of God.

When I was there in 2012, I saw a fellow hard at work on it. http://travelswithcarole.blogspot.com/2012/06/sights-to-see-yigal-alon-center.html

I’m glad you like them! I have a couple more planned and one summarizing what to see.
