Palestine, March 2015. Sebastia offers thousands of years of local history. The town is built on the site of the biblical city of Samaria. Atop the archaeological hill, surrounded by Roman ruins, a Greek Orthodox church marks the site associated with the discovery of John’s head. The Abraham Path is a long-distance walking trail across the Middle East which connects the sites visited by the patriarch Abraham. The trail passes through sites of Abrahamic history, varied landscapes, and a myriad of communities of different faiths and cultures, which reflect the rich diversity of the Middle East.
