Often missed by travelers in the Negev Desert, Avdat National Park was once a Nabataean city and a key stop on the route from Petra to the Mediterranean. In the 4th century, it developed a Christian character with two churches and large baptismal fonts for the whole population. Despite being abandoned in the 8th century, Avdat has been restored and is now a fascinating UNESCO World Heritage site to explore Christian history and Negev settlement. #HolyLand #Pilgrimage #Avdat #NegevDesert | Spirit
