Day 10 - May 20 - Friday

My Journal Entry:

Nazareth was cool - went by NETS (a seminary) to get our schedule for the day, went to a plaza by Mary's Well to perform, then stopped for lunch (yay Domino's!). After that we set up to perform in another open plaza, but we were told that it on the property of a mosque, so we moved to the Church of the Annunciation and sang in there. The acoustics were amazing! And THEN, when we started to leave, the priest came out after us and asked up to come sing in the upper church - a place where they don't allow tourists! The acoustics up there were even better than in the lower level! We did a little shopping after that, then came home. Mize and Lizzy were a huge encouragement to me today! God blessed me with some pretty awesome friends. :)

Mr. Wilson's Details:

Dear VISION Family and Friends:

What images form in your mind at the name “Nazareth”?

The town where the angel announced to Mary and then to Joseph God’s plan to bring His Son into the world through the virgin birth...

The town where the two of them settled again with their little Son of God, supported through Joseph’s work as a carpenter...

The place where Jesus returned as an adult during his three-year ministry and announced in the synagogue that He was the fulfillment of the prophecy He read, for which statement the devout Jews sought to stone Him...

The town that gave our Lord His identification in the world–Jesus of Nazareth.

It's where VISION spent the day, including two significant
performing opportunities, one in a small park next to "Mary's Well," a traditional site of where Mary might have come to draw water, and the other in the Church of the Annunciation, which commemorates the announcement of the angel Gabriel to Mary that she would give birth to the Messiah.
