We haven’t typically taken tour groups to Sepphoris — I think that relatively few tour groups go there, whether LDS or non-LDS — but I’m delighted that my next tour to Israel, at the end of April, is scheduled to visit the ruins of the ancient city. It’s a rapidly changing archaeological site, and it has been producing interesting finds for quite a few years now:
I suspect that Jesus and Joseph may have done construction work there, and that it may even have been the genesis of Jesus’ image of the “city set on a hill.”
