Based on authentic New Testatment scholarship, Nazareth Village is a site in Nazareth, Israel, recreated to represent life in a Galilean village 2000 years ago and to present the life, times and teachings of Jesus Christ to the world. This lady was dressed as an ancient Nazarene weaver and demonstrated the archaic weaving skills that have survived to the present day.
