Las Hermanas del convento sostienen que se trata de una fuente antigua que se bloque\u00f3 con el tiempo y lo relacionan con una descripci\u00f3n de Nazaret del siglo VII. Arculfo, un peregrino galo escribe que Nazaret constaba de dos fuentes. Conocemos la \u201cFuente de Mar\u00eda\u201d, situada al este de la Bas\u00edlica de la Anunciaci\u00f3n, pero Arculfo se refiere a otra fuente, muy cerca de la \u201cCasa de Mar\u00eda\u201d (Bas\u00edlica de la Anunciaci\u00f3n) y de otra iglesia llamada \u201cde la Nutrici\u00f3n\u201d construida sobre la casa de Jos\u00e9, en la cual, Jes\u00fas fue \u201cnutrido\u201d es decir donde \u201ciba creciendo y fortaleci\u00e9ndose lleno de sabidur\u00eda\u201d, como nos dice san Lucas (Lc 2:40). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoy en d\u00eda, los Franciscanos recogen esta tradici\u00f3n en la iglesia de San Jos\u00e9 erigida a poca distancia de la Bas\u00edlica de la Anunciaci\u00f3n. El convento de las Hermanas de Nazaret se encuentra a la misma distancia de la Casa de Mar\u00eda, pero la descripci\u00f3n de Arculfo parece ir a favor de una ubicaci\u00f3n de la Casa de la Sagrada Familia en el convento de las Hermanas de Nazaret. Por un lado, nunca existi\u00f3 un manantial debajo de la iglesia franciscana de San Jos\u00e9.

The ropes used to hoist jars left their marks on the marble. The Sisters of the convent maintain that this is an ancient spring that became blocked over time, and they connect it to a 7th-century description of Nazareth. Arculf, a Gallic pilgrim, wrote that Nazareth had two springs. We know of the \u201cFountain of Mary,\u201d located east of the Basilica of the Annunciation, but Arculf refers to another spring, very close to the \u201cHouse of Mary\u201d (Basilica of the Annunciation) and another church called \u201cof the Nutrition,\u201d built over Joseph\u2019s house, where Jesus was \u201cnurtured\u201d\u2014that is, where \u201c[He] grew and became strong, filled with wisdom,\u201d as Saint Luke tells us (Lk 2:40). Today, the Franciscans uphold this tradition in the Church of Saint Joseph, erected a short distance from the Basilica of the Annunciation. The Sisters of Nazareth convent is at the same distance from the House of Mary, but Arculf\u2019s description seems to favor the location of the Holy Family\u2019s house at the Sisters of Nazareth convent. On the one hand, no spring ever existed beneath the Franciscan Church of Saint Joseph. On the other hand, the archaeological remains found at the Sisters of Nazareth convent have no equivalent in the Franciscan Church of Saint Joseph.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.saxum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fig3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Marks of the ropes used over centuries to draw water from the well.

A bishop, perhaps?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even more striking, an adjacent room contained the remains of two monumental staircases. These were built during the Crusader period (12th century) and connected the nave of a destroyed church\u2014possibly the \u201cChurch of the Nutrition\u201d? \u2014 to a crypt. Between the two staircases, the threshold of a rock-hewn door led, according to the Sisters, to a 1st-century house: could this be the Holy Family\u2019s house where Jesus spent his childhood?<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.saxum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fig4-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Part of the monumental staircase (on the right) and rock-hewn door opening into a house from Jesus\u2019 time.

Through a hole in the crypt\u2019s pavement, another underground space can be glimpsed: a burial chamber with kochim-type tombs (oven-like niches), typical of Jesus\u2019 era. The presence of a round stone used to seal the entrance to this chamber stands out\u2014the same system as that of Jesus\u2019 tomb in the Holy Sepulcher. Without a doubt, we are standing before an aristocratic tomb.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.saxum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fig5-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Kochim tombs typical of Jesus\u2019 era.

And who is the Righteous One in Nazareth if not Saint Joseph? One explanation is that the inhabitants of Nazareth wished to honor Jesus\u2019 father by burying him in a royal tomb. Over this tomb, the Byzantines, and later the Crusaders, built a commemorative church dedicated to the Hidden Life of Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By Henri Gourinard<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.saxum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fig6.png\" alt=\"Entrance to the Tomb of the Righteous One.
