Nazareth Village

Nazareth Village

Nazareth Village is an Open air museum that reconstructs and reenacts village life in the Galilee in the time of Jesus.

The village features houses, terraced fields, wine and olive presses all built to resemble those that would have been in a Galilee village in the 1st century. Muslim and Christian living history enactors from nearby Nazareth dress in period costume and show visitory how farm, domestic, and craft work was performed two thousand years ago.[1][2]
