Description

My husband and I spent a weekend in Nazareth and had a wonderful time. I interviewed the owners of Al Hakim family guesthouse. The father is a tour guide. Several women revived the old city of Nazareth after it had become a ghost town. I spoke to Amani, the owner of Amani Cafe about what happened in the old city and about the new vibe. Walking around the old town I visited two art galleries and spoke to the female artists about their work and their life in Nazareth. The main historical sites in Nazareth are the churches related to the visit of the angel Gabriel to Mary to announce her that she will be pregnant. The different Christian denominations have different sites. The Roman Catholic Church of the Annunciation was built on a location that was venerated since Byzantine time but the current church is from the 20th Century.  The Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Gabriel is much smaller and closer to Mary's well, which according to the Eastern churches is the place of the annunciation. For a stay in the old city of Nazareth we can highly recommend Al Hakim guesthousehttps://www.alhakim.co.il/While strolling around the old city you can have coffee at Amani Cafe or Liwan Cafe Amani Cafe : https://www.instagram.com/amani.cafeLiwan Cafe: https://www.instagram.com/liwanculturecafe/ The artists in the interview are:Bana Haddad (Graphic design & Visual Art Gallery)https://www.instagram.com/lawz_studio/banahaddad77@gmail.comSama Abuhanna (Visual artist)https://www.instagram.com/2sudesign9/Jasmine & Reem (Wings design handmade crafts and design)https://www.instagram.com/wings.design26If you appreciate the podcast I would be very happy if you wanted to contribute and buy me a coffee (or a falafel) on the Ko-fi platform page:  https://ko-fi.com/storiesfrompalestine Connect to Stories from Palestine on social media, follow the YouTube channel and sign up for the weekly e-mail.
