Based on solid New Testament scholarship and the most up-to-date archaeology, Nazareth Village brings to life a farm and Galilean village, recreating Nazareth as it was 2,000 years ago.
Let the braying of our donkey and bleating of our sheep transport you into the ancient past. Stroll the path between our cultivated olive trees and breathe in the sweet scent of almond blooms in the spring. Climb from the authentic First Century winepress through our terraced vineyard and gardens and into the olive press, where you can soak up the smell of freshly crushed olives in the autumn. Behold the clay being turned into a vessel in the potter's hand. Watch the carpenter shape wood in his workshop, and see the weaver spin new thread and weave it on the loom. Hear the words of Jesus afresh as you sit in our unique replica of a First Century Synagogue.
Nazareth today is a bustling city of nearly 80,000 people. Immeasurable numbers of pilgrims have come here over the years, searching for the setting which shaped the Man who changed the course of history. At the Nazareth Village, we take you back in time to experience the life and teachings of Yeshua (Jesus) in their original context, as we guide you through the last remaining tract of virgin farmland, just 500 meters away from where he grew up.
