What kind of church is the synagogue in Nazareth?
The Synagogue Church is a small Christian church in the heart of Nazareth known by this name due to a tradition claiming that it is the same building that used to be the village synagogue in Jesus’ time. Above its doorway is an embedded sign: “the synagogue”. The structure is currently controlled by the Melkite (Greek Catholic) Church.
Where was the synagogue in the time of Jesus?
In Jesus’ time, Nazareth was a small Jewish town of not more than 300 people, and there would have been just one synagogue that served their needs. In the time of Jesus, the Temple in Jerusalem was still standing, and was the focus of Jewish worship, as it had been for many hundreds of years.
What was the difference between the synagogue and the temple?
The main difference between synagogue service then – when the Temple still stood – and now, was the lack of the formal prayers which now form a central element. As attendance at the synagogue had became a regular routine of Jewish life, Jesus as a practicing Jew would visit regularly.
