The Nativity Story is unique from the beginning with Mary's visit from the angel. In Nazareth, they have the Church of the Annunciation or if you want to get all fancy, the Basilica of Annunciation. Find a history of the church here.
Mosaics adorned all the walls inside and out, all representing a different country. This one is the U.S. mosaic. Other mosaics from the various nations.

If you look closely, Mary is stepping on a snake. Crazy to think she's around my age, probably younger. Crazy.
