In Israel, there’s a saying that if you spit, you’ll hit an archaeological discovery. According to the Christian Gospels, this is what happened in the northern Israeli village of Migdal on the Sea of Galilee, the birthplace of Mary Magdalene, a disciple of Jesus Christ. The Israeli government intended to widen a major route, but officials had to make sure that no archaeologically significant sites were paved over beforehand
Israel is keeping air travel restrictions in place because of the pandemic and that means Christian pilgrims from all over the world will once again not be able to visit the traditional sites in the Holy Land this Easter this year
