The Grotto of the Annunciation, beneath the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth, pictured in December 2015, is believed to be the site where the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would conceive Jesus. The grotto contains first-century stone dwellings and draws pilgrims from around the world. (Mary Rose Kocab)
