Mary’s Well

Mary’s Well in #Nazareth. 


Local tradition says this is where Gabriel visited Mary with the news that changed her life and the world. We don’t know if it’s really the exact spot. 

But it’s the only well in town, so we do know that Mary came here hundreds of times. As a little girl with her mother. As a teenager with deepening faith. As a young woman (probably still a teenager!) wrestling with the enormity of what lay ahead of her and within her. 

Scared yet steadfast. Anxious yet anticipating. Weak yet strong. A woman after God’s own heart.
