Nain
The village of Galilee where Jesus resurrected the son of the widow.
Inhabitants or natives
Daniel the resurrected, his mother, Simon, the Pharisee of Capernaum, has a property there.
Description
"The town is not large, but well built, enclosed within its walls, it extends over a low and pleasant hill, a foothill of little Hermon, overlooking a very fertile plain that slopes northwest (Plain of Esdraelon Plain). One arrives here, coming from Endor, after crossing a watercourse which is certainly a tributary of the Jordan. Yet, from this place, one no longer sees the Jordan, nor its valley, because hills block it forming an arc shaped like a question mark to the east."[1]
