Note This tree is where the Holy Family found shade under a sycamore tree. At that spot Jesus created a well, blessed it and drank from it. Mary also bathed Jesus from the water and in the place where she poured out the water grew a balsam tree. The tree is now used for the preparation of the chrism or holy Myron. |
