Statue of the Virgin Mary in the courtyard of the Basilica of the Annunciation

When visiting the sights of Israel, I definitely recommend visiting one of the most sacred places in history. The Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth. This is a Catholic church, erected, according to legend, on the same place where once there was the abode of the Most Holy Virgin Mary.

And this is where the Annunciation occurred, which can be read in Scripture.

Of course, the scale of the Basilica itself is amazing. The church building is so beautiful and thorough. It also has an unusual architecture. Its vault is made in the form of a rose, the petals of which are facing down in the shape of the letter M, Maria.

In the courtyard of the Basilica of the Annunciation you will see a spiritualized statue of the Virgin Mary, made of light stone. The face of the Virgin Mary is humble and kind. The statue exudes a special peace of mind. And touching the hands of the statue of the Virgin Mary gives hope for the fulfillment of the most secret desires. Make sure to take the time to think about the eternal while in this place.

To get to this point on the map is easy, because the Basilica of the Annunciation is in transport accessibility in Nazareth.
