Nazareth Village is an attempt to recreate life in the time and place of young Jesus. We saw examples of residential architecture and demonstrations of woodworking and spinning/weaving. In a synagogue replica, Dr. Tabor gave us a lesson, reading about Jesus being handed the Isaiah scroll and reading in a synagogue.
This interesting spot at the headwaters of the Jordan River, Caesarea Philippi, has minimal remains of three temples: Pan, Zeus, and Caesar Augustus. It was the site of a retreat for Jesus and his closest followers.
Last on today's list was Bethsaida.
This iron age city (tenth century BC) was the home of 4 or 5 of "The Twelve". One excavated house (now known as "The Fisherman's House") had more fishing tackle found in it than any other house.
Another house was identified as belonging to a winemaker because of his very nice wine cellar.
