Abstract

The biblical Nazareth is chronologically the first important element of the historical picture of Jesus, the credibility of which is constantly being questioned. The discussion around it carries a trace of debate between minimalists and maximalists. The presented outline of a holistic picture of the history of this settlement, which consists of information and conclusions obtained on the basis of archaeological and historical-literary research in confrontation with the evidence of religious tradition expressed in sacred architecture, facilitates a critical assessment of the credibility of this place.

Keywords:

Nazareth, Jesus of Nazareth, the Basilica of the Annunciation, the Well of Mary, Church of St. Joseph
