In the basement of the Gabriels Church (that's what it's called) there is a spring that feeds a well about 150 m away.
The Greek Orthodox Church of St. Gabriel dates from 1767. It is the orthodox variant of the Church of the Annunciation. There is a cave with a spring in the immediate vicinity of the church. The archangel Gabriel is said to have appeared to the Virgin Mary at this source. In this way, the Greek Orthodox Christians worship a place other than the place of proclamation than the Roman Catholic Church. The Greek Orthodox Church refers to a tradition in the proto-gospel of James, an early Christian script from the 2nd century, which was particularly noticed in the Eastern churches. Since the spring at the church is the only source of fresh water in the place, only it can be the one to which the preaching story according to James is based.

The patronage of the Annunciation of Mary (or in another spelling: Annunciation of Mary) of this church refers to one of the many memorial days or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Mary. The Feast of the Annunciation of Mary (liturgical name: Annunciation of the Lord) is celebrated on March 25th, exactly 9 months before Christmas. It refers to the message that the angel of the Lord brought her that she was to give birth to the Son of God - Jesus Christ.
According to the report in the 1st chapter of the Gospel of Luke, this happened here in Nazareth. Where this happened - according to a tradition dating back around two thousand years - a church was built, and there are other places of worship of this kind from the various Christian denominations, such as the Greek Orthodox Church here. It is therefore the 'original patron church' for the title of all Annunciation churches worldwide.
