The Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth, known also as St. Gabriel's Church or the Beer Mary Church is located in the church square, north of Nazareth Square. The church stands near a spring which provided the city's water consumption from the beginning of the settlement, and which was associated with the gospel to Mary from the 2nd century. According to this tradition, generally accepted in the Orthodox Church, as the Virgin drew water from the spring, the angel Gabriel appeared before her and told her that she conceived and that she was going to give birth to the Son of God: Due to the sanctity of the place, a Byzantine church was built in the 6th century, and a Catholic-Crusader church in the early 12th century, to which the spring water was channeled through a short tunnel. In 1263 the church was destroyed by the Mamluks. From 1628 to 1634 the spring was the possession of the Franciscans who erected a small building above it. In 1749, the ruler of the Galilee, Dahr al-Omar, granted permission to the Greek-Orthodox community to establish the church, and it was established between 1750-1769. It is highly recomended!!

The Greek Orthodox Church of St. Gabriel, also known as the (Greek) Orthodox Church of the Annunciation (Greek: Ορθόδοξος Ναός του Ευαγγελισμού), is an Eastern Orthodox church in Nazareth, Israel. It is one of two claimants to the site of the Annunciation - where angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and announced that she would give birth to Jesus - the other being the Catholic Basilica of the Annunciation.[1] The spring inside then you can take some water. Many local people brings alot cans to have water too. This church has many woods decoration, they all loook so adorable

This is one of the two churches in Nazareth that claim that it was there that the Virgin Mary received the good news from the Archangel Gabriel that she would give birth to the son of God. An ancient church that brings comfort to the faithful. Here is also the spring where this is said to have happened. In the church you can fill yourself with holy water, which is said to be healing. They also offer bottles for this, donating as much as you want.

Церковь Благовещения над источником Пресвятой Богородицы в Назарете также известна также как греческая православная церковь Архангела Гавриила. Построена на Святом источнике, к которому приходила за водой Дева Мария, и у которого совершилось явление ангела, сказавшего: «Радуйся, благодатная! Господь с Тобою; благословенна Ты между женами». В церкви иконостас скрывает алтарь из виду, в соответствии с православной традицией. А современные декоративные фрески покрывают стены и потолки наземного сооружения XVIII века. В церкви можно помолиться, поставить свечи, написать записки за здравие и упокой, а так же налить воду и даже взять бутылочки(на все нет цены и это приятно осознавать, что не за что нет цены и все по желанию, я естественно дала пожертвование). И пусть все о чем вы молитесь и что вы просите, все воплощается в жизнь!! Источник Пресвятой Богородицы находится в крипте храма в отдельном притворе с устроенным над ним престолом. Над престолом находится чудотворная икона "Благовещения у кладезя". Относится к Назаретской митрополии Иерусалимской Православной Церкви. В Назарете существует два древних храма, посвященных Благовещению. Второй - католический.

The second Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth. Although much smaller than the Catholic one, it is also much older, and thus truly and fully maintains medieval spirit, although its current state dates back to 1750. Much less known and visited than Basilica of the Annunciation, it is not less impressive spiritually. Can be only recommended to visit both, if you are in Nazareth.

A very beautiful church with icons. It has a well with a spring inside it. This is the spring from which the blessed virgin Mary drew water. Legend says that the angel Gabriel first appeared to her. The water is sweet. A blessed and emotional experience indeed.
