Behind me is Mary's Well.
Mary's Well is one of the iconic places here in Nazareth.
Allegedly, this is where the angel Gabriel came to Mary
to announce to her about her bringing forth Jesus Christ.
In Arabic it's called Ain il-'adra.
It means "the spring of the virgin."
So, if you look behind there,
over there, there is an Orthodox Church
that supposedly has that spring springing forth from there.
And up to a hundred years, or 70 years ago,
when some people still did not have pipes in their homes,
they would come here and they would fetch their water,
especially suburbs around Nazareth.
Little villages and so forth.
Now, today, the well is not occupational.
It was renovated two times,
once in 1965, if I'm not mistaken,
and the other one was in the year 2,000.
Now, even though the rock and the structure looks new,
the shape of it is very similar
to the very old shape that once stood here.
Today, this whole court of Mary's Well,
that was renovated in the year 2,000
and transplanted with beautiful olive trees,
has become the center activist area
for the Communist political party in Nazareth.

Okay. This is Elbabour,
and it's one of the gems in Nazareth.
Let's come and see.
♪ (music) ♪
This place is called Elbabour,
which means "the mill,"
and this is the mill of Nazareth.
Now, 300 years ago, when this building was standing,
it was considered outside the old city of Nazareth.
Today, though, it is in the heart of Nazareth.
This is one of the jewels of Nazareth in its authenticity,
and the flavor, the aroma.
When somebody comes in here,
you enter a door and you go underground.
It is just magnificent to smell all these smells,
get introduced to so many new Middle-Eastern spices.
And the owners are Christian.
♪ (music) ♪
They have an old mill that is a hundred years old.
Now, the business started in 1905,
so they've been here for
very well over a hundred years.
All right. Let's go to the Annunciation Church.

So, we are in the very center of Nazareth.
And, once again, what do we have here?
A church. What kind?
You guessed it.

So here we are...
in the Basilica of Nazareth.
And this church is built on top of what is believed to be
the house of Mary and Joseph.

This is the tallest church in the entire Middle East region.
And now we're going to eat shawarma at Abu Arab.
(Rhoda) (non-English speech)
So we are right here in downtown Nazareth,
and we're eating one of the best things
that Nazareth has to offer:
shawarma.
Oh yes, look at that.
That is incredible. Wow.
So they've got this meat thing that they--
I'm just drooling looking at this.

And now let's head to El Mahroum
and eat some delicious Arabic sweets.
(non-English conversation)
(Sergio) This is kanafeh, an Arabic sweet
with cheese, phyllo dough,
and covered with tons of sugar.
It is delicious.
And if you've never tasted it before,
I highly recommend it.
This is like heaven on Earth.
Best served with milk...
but also Arabic coffee.
