“It is the town where Christian tradition says Jesus grew up”

Ah no it’s where the Bible says he grew up.

Incredible find! Just at the right time!

Stone and mud houses, caves...Apparently Joseph wasn’t a Carpenter after all...

If you look real close you will see where the cable and broadband came into the house.

This is really interesting. Thanks for posting.

Makes it possible to imagine a little more clearly what it was like back then.

[Verginius Rufus]

Actually, according to Luke, Gabriel was more specific--he told Mary that she would have a son (Lk 1.31), who would be called "son of highest [one]" (hyios hypsistou). Presumably this was spoken in Aramaic but would have made clear that the child would be a boy.

The word used in the Gospels of Jesus' occupation, tekton, although usually translated as "carpenter," was not restricted to workers in wood but could be applied to those who worked in stone, metal, or horn. Given the relative scarcity of wood in the vicinity of Nazareth, Jesus may have done more masonry than carpentry.
