Random information on the term “The Virgin Mary”:
Nazareth (/ˈnæzərəθ/; Hebrew: נָצְרַת, Natzrat; Arabic: النَّاصِرَة, an-Nāṣira; Aramaic: ܢܨܪܬ, Naṣrath) is the capital and the largest city in the Northern District of Israel. Nazareth is known as “the Arab capital of Israel”. In 2016 its population was 75,922. The inhabitants are predominantly Arab citizens of Israel, of whom 69% are Muslim and 30.9% Christian. Nazareth Illit (lit. “Upper Nazareth”) is built alongside old Nazareth, and had a Jewish population of 40,312 in 2014. The Jewish sector was declared a separate city in June 1974.
In the New Testament, the town is described as the childhood home of Jesus, and as such is a center of Christian pilgrimage, with many shrines commemorating biblical events.
One view holds that “Nazareth” is derived from one of the Hebrew words for ‘branch’, namely ne·ṣer, נֵ֫צֶר, and alludes to the prophetic, messianic words in Book of Isaiah 11:1, ‘from (Jesse’s) roots a Branch (netzer) will bear fruit’. One view suggests this toponym might be an example of a tribal name used by resettling groups on their return from exile. Alternatively, the name may derive from the verb na·ṣar, נָצַר, “watch, guard, keep,” and understood either in the sense of “watchtower” or “guard place”, implying the early town was perched on or near the brow of the hill, or, in the passive sense as ‘preserved, protected’ in reference to its secluded position. The negative references to Nazareth in the Gospel of John suggest that ancient Jews did not connect the town’s name to prophecy.
