Tradition says this spot (now just a few minutes walk into Nazareth’s Old Market) is where Jesus stood to proclaim and preach the stirring words of Isaiah 61 and where he endured an angry response. Christians have been coming here at least since the sixth century, and in 1771 the Greek Catholics received it into their care. In this unadorned stone chamber beneath fine old barrel arches, awaits a quiet enclave for prayer and contemplation.
