Austins in Thailand

Jesus slept here.
On the banks of the Nile river we stood in the church above where the Holy Family stayed for some time after fleeing Herod.   Thank God for Egypt, the safe haven for the homeless, persecuted Holy Family.

The Romans built this place.
We exited out of the crowded, hot metro into the bright sunlight and stood before a tower that the Romans built.  Attached to the tower, but with no foundation, is the Hanging Church.  Walking into the Church there are beautiful mosaics of Bible scenes and the church has incredibly beautiful wood work - but - if you look down in certain spots there is clear glass to show you there is no foundation!

Saint George died here.
Saint George was a Palestinian Christian who was martyred in the 2nd Century by the Romans.  We walked and bent and gasped and were repulsed as we experienced his prison cell and instruments of torture.  Everywhere we looked we saw the Holy Martyrs.  Thank God for their faithfulness.
