The three photographs below show
Nazareth,
Capernaum and
Gethsemane in the 1890s:
 |
| In the New Testament, Nazareth is described as the childhood home of Jesus, and as such it is a center of Christian pilgrimage, with many shrines commemorating biblical events. |
 |
| Capernaum was according to the Gospel of Luke the home of the apostles Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John. In Matthew 4:13 the town is reported to have been the home of Jesus. |
 |
| Gethsemane, the garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem is the place where, according to the gospels Jesus and his disciples are said to have prayed the night before he was arrested, the day before his death. |
