If Christmas is close, Santa is sure to be seen in the streets of Nazareth, the 2,000-year-old Galilee city that is home to Israel’s largest Christian Arab community.

Any time of year, Nazareth is a picturesque and fascinating city to explore for its rich history and architecture as well as its present-day mix of Christian and Muslim citizens living peaceably together.
