That was a land\u003cbr\u003efor poets and painters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLonesome, deserted, and little inhabited as it seems now, there was a\u003cbr\u003etime when this little paradise of earth had many people and many\u003cbr\u003ehandsome cities. \"In my time,\" says Josephus, \"there were not less\u003cbr\u003ethan four hundred walled towns in Galilee.\" Nature, too, was lavish in\u003cbr\u003eits gifts to this little land. There were green valleys there,\u003cbr\u003epicturesque mountains, clear blue lakes, running brooks, and grassy\u003cbr\u003efields. An Eastern sun shone on the province almost all the time.\u003cbr\u003eThere was no winter there. Like a diamond in the very heart of this\u003cbr\u003ebeautiful land sat the town of Nazareth, \"The Flower of Galilee.\"\u003cbr\u003eClose by the village were the hills that fenced in the upper end of\u003cbr\u003ethe plain of beautiful Esdralon. Figs grew there at Nazareth, and\u003cbr\u003eoranges, and grapes luscious and bountiful as nowhere else. The\u003cbr\u003eflower-lined lanes stretched from the village clear down to the blue\u003cbr\u003elake of Galilee, only a dozen miles or so away. It must have been a\u003cbr\u003edelight to live in a climate so delicious, in a land so lovely.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080979857648,"sku":"2940015806588","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015806588","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
