A Highlight from my Holy Land Diary: A global collection of paintings and mosaics of Mother Mary

The Façade of the Church of Annunciation

The Alter at the Church of Annunciation

On the second day of our Holy Land tour we were at the Church of the Annunciation. It is built where it’s believed was the house of Joseph and Virgin Mary, parents of Jesus. The Church has on display this stunning collection of paintings and mosaics of Mother Mary handcrafted by Christian communities from all over the world. Every art work reflects the national character of the country that sent it. Enjoy the diverse renditions.
