You step out of an air-conditioned van onto a sun-warmed square in Nazareth; stone buildings hold the heat of centuries and the air smells faintly of coffee and citrus. The guide points up at the Church of the Annunciation—an imposing modern basilica built over foundations locals associate with a 1st-century house—and the story folds into place: an ordinary village, claimed by extraordinary narratives.
