The village of Buq is south of al–Qusiya. Although once a bishopric, Buq only has less than 8% Christians nowadays. Here, we will visit the Church of Buq and a well that is said to have been blessed by the Holy Family when they passed by the village. In the church one will see marvelous intricate woodworks of its iconostasis, with its different shapes of the cross.
