genuinely was the childhood home of jesus. on archaeological ground that is entirely possible, but it can t be demonstrated. it s difficult to be sure who this house belonged to in the first century. it was a house of the kind mary and joseph could have lived in. the pottery, the limestone vessels, the construction of the house, the dimensions all make it likely this is jesus house. and it makes sense the early christians would have treasured that location and passed it on to later pilgrims, so a lot of it fits together, and a lot of it seems to make it likely this could be the house of jesus, mary and joseph. i think that the sisters of nazareth convent is most likely a church of the nutrition mentioned in the delocus sanctis. the question is whether this is the childhood home of jesus.
