Last weekend, Noel and I visited one of our favourite National Parks here in Israel. We went with Susan and Christopher Lyons who are two friends from Canada. The site we visited is Zippori (also known as Sepphoris) and it is located quite close to Nazareth in the Galilee. The mosaics at this site are some of the best that can be seen in Israel. The site has been excavated in the past few years and the beautiful remains of the ancient town unearthed. This was the home of Anne and Joachim, the parents of Mary who was the mother of Jesus. Apart from the mosaics, we also enjoy visiting the ancient underground reservoir which is what remains of the original water supply system
