Nazareth, the historic city known as the childhood home of Jesus, is experiencing a revival as pilgrims and tourists return after a long absence due to the conflict in Gaza. The city's vibrant Christmas market has reopened for the first time since 2022, filling the streets with festive lights, music, and celebrations. Local residents, many from the largest Arab-Christian community in Israel, are welcoming visitors with open arms, seeing their return as a sign of hope and renewal. While tourism numbers remain below pre-war levels, the atmosphere is joyful, with parades, traditional costumes, and a towering Christmas tree next to the Basilica of the Annunciation. Pilgrims from around the world are once again making emotional journeys to this spiritual center, bringing a renewed sense of life and faith to Nazareth.
