Jesus the Messiah (i.e. Anointed One)

Hebrew: HaMashiach Yeshua
(ham-mah-SHEE-akh ye-SHOO-ah)

For 33 years, Jesus called Israel home during the Second Temple Period in the 1^st century. He grew up in Nazareth but eventually moved to Capernaum for the last 2 years of His life. He traveled and taught all around Judea, and Galilee healing the sick, crippled, and even people born blind. As a child, His parents took Him to Jerusalem every year for Passover (Pesach), a tradition He continued into His adult life. He also celebrated The Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), the Feast of Tabernacles / Booths (Sukkot), and the Festival of Dedication (Hanukkah).

The mission of this geocoin is to revisit all of the places that Jesus is known to have visited in the land He called home. The challenge is to upload a picture that will try to recapture each place as He would have remembered it in the 1^st century. Please be as creative as possible, trying to capture the sights, moments, and events that would have been meaningful to Him. You are encouraged (but not required) to include yourself or your group in the picture.
