Answer 4

There is archaelogical evidence that Nazareth did exist along with the evidence from the Bible.

Answer 5

Must have been it's throughout Jews as literature.  Nothing good ever came from Nazereth, or so the Jews said about Christ.

Answer 6

Yes there was and is such a town.  This is why, in Hebrew, Xians are called Nazarenes, because Jeezus was from Nazereth.

Answer 7

It's not too modern today.  It wasn't much of a town in the first centruy.  Agriculture was the main industry in those days.

Answer 8

Sure. Nazareth and Bethlehem are still there.  

I believe Nazareth is Arab controlled but you could go there.

They'll correct me if I'm wrong.  And shoot me for answering them.  :)~~~

Answer 9

I know there is a place there today - I've been there.  I assume it is the same place mentioned in the Christian Bible.
