Nazareth

About Nazareth:

Located in northern Israel, Nazareth is famous for being the childhood home of Jesus. Today it is no longer a small town as it was in the time of Jesus; it is a bustling city of about 75,00 people, about 1/3 Christian and 2/3 Muslim.

There was a time in history when some secular skeptics doubted the town had even existed, but they were proven wrong as this article shows.
