Title A name given to the resource View of the east end of the church Description An account of the resource The original iconostasis was destroyed at some point between the 1960s and 1982 when restoration of the monastery commenced. The chancel screen has fragments believed to show the parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins and the triumphal arch above the semi-dome has Christ amidst the Apostles with the Annunciation above it on either side of the window. Unfortunately most of the Annunciation scene was stolen by fresco thieves in the 1980s.

It has long been venerated by Christians as the place of the Annunciation where the angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary to announce that she will bear the Son of God who should be named Jesus. It is also thought to contain the site of Joseph’s home and workshop. This collection of photographs was taken during fieldwork in July - August 2013.

This holy site was clearly well established as a place of worship towards the end of the fourth century as the pilgrim Egeria describes an altar within a grand and splendid grotto. The Piacenza pilgrim who journeyed to Nazareth in the late sixth century states that there is a basilica at the House of Mary that contains many garments that once belonged to the Virgin. Today, remnants of wall paintings, mosaics, and the architecture from this early church building are visible.
