நாசரேத்,
Nazareth is a village and too small to be marked on the map of India [but you can find it in Google Earth]. Situated near the southern tip of the country, it was named as Nazareth by the early missionaries. There is a 100+ year old church in the center of the town. It has a very tall tower, the tower has a flat top. The story goes that if the tower had been built any taller the tower would have been unstable. This part of Southern Tamil Nadu has a very high density of gothic styled churches- living relics from a bygone missionary era. A Vinayagar Temple situated near the railway station.

Nazareth is in Thoothukudi district. It is about 50km from Thoothukudi; and about 36km from the city of Tirunelveli. It has a railway station, as well as a bus station. There are several villages surrounding Nazareth and all of them are considered part of Nazareth; the postal address for those villages needs to be addressed as Nazareth in order for those villages to receive incoming mail.

There are several daily trains to Chennai through Tirunelveli . Nazareth is well connected to major cities in Tamil Nadu as well as to several villages in the area. Bus services abound to various places including direct nightly services to the State capital Chennai, the commercial city of Coimbatore, Bangalore, and a host of other places.
