Today we first visited the Cana Catholic Wedding Church built at the location where Jesus performed His first miracle. |
|
Many of our group renewed their wedding vows in the side chapel. |
 |
This is supposed to be the type of vase that held the water the Jesus turned into wine. |
 |
This is a service that was going on in the main chapel. |
 |
This is the Church Of The Annunciation built where the angel told Mary that she was with child. It was too dark inside to get a decent picture. |
 |
When we returned to the bus Pastor Mike led us in the morning devotion. |
 |
This is a typical side street in Cana. |
 |
Next we visited Zippori. this is an arial view of the area. |
 |
Many homes and structures have been uncovered. |
 |
This is a fortress that has been restored. |
 |
This is a synagogue floor that has been uncovered. |
 |
It is a very well preserved mosaic pattern. |
 |
We then traveled to Megiddo which had been destroyed and rebuilt 25 times. |
 |
This is the area where the battle of Armageddon will occur. |
 |
With the many layers of destruction not much can be recovered. |
 |
 |
Our final stop of the day was at the port city of Caesarea where the great structures of King Herod were uncovered. |
 |
This is the most beautiful amphitheatre any of us has ever seen. |
 |
Also uncovered was this hippodrome used for sporting events. The seating on the Mediterranean side was completely gone. |
 |
It was very chilly and windy here today. Here we are sheltered by this wall while waiting for our guide. |
 |
This is some of the inner port area. |
 |
Here is a main arch leading into the port area. |
 |
Much of the area is surrounded by these types of walls and moat. |
 |
We checked into The Olive Tree Hotel in Jerusalem tonight. |
 |
This aquaduct was built to transport spring water to Caesarea from seven miles away for drinking water. |
 |
This was the best supper we have had so far. |
