Today we travelled to Nazareth. We visited the Basilica of the Annunciation. This Church has an Annunciation Grotto which is believed to be the Virgin Mary's home and the place where the Angel Gabriel appeared to her and where she responded with "let it be done to me according to your word." We were able to pray in front of this grotto and I really felt my YES resounding with Mary's.
This church has two levels - this is the lower level and you can see the white cave on the bottom left. This is the Annunciation Grotto (cave).

Some examples of the side aisles with Marian images.
