| Notes: |
Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(Psalms, lxxii:8.)--'He shall have dominion also
from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.' It seems as if the prophesies quoted from the above Psalm
have been fulfilled when we remember that churches now stand in nearly all of the great cities of the world. The Latin church
in Nazareth is called the Church of the Annunciation. The modern city of Nazareth consists of stone houses with flat roofs.
The Church of the Annunciation is small, but it is decorated with pictures of great beauty and with finely wrought marble.
It is said to stand on the site of the house of Mary. The church was begun in 1620 out of materials which remained from the
ruins of former structures of a similar character. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1837, but has been rebuilt. The name
of Nazareth does not occur in the Old Testament nor in Josephus." See 5374BAI/LVii100CAJS (Voyager # 361986)
