The Innocents Abroad

Twain and his companions' awe at walking in Jesus' footsteps and perhaps touching the very surface he may have once touched continues. They come to the tiny village of Shunem. What is the village's main attraction for Twain?

Twain is most impressed with one item in Shunem: a lemon tree. He finds that the tree provides much needed shelter from the sweltering sun, and Twain dubs it Shunem's greatest beauty.
