Part of the world's oldest Christian site of worship is now on display at the Museum of the Bible in D.C. The Megiddo Mosaic, discovered during a construction project in Israel, dates back to the third century.
Historians like Dr. Bobby Duke describe the Megiddo Mosaic as the greatest discovery in Israel since the Dead Sea Scrolls. "When I heard about this mosaic and read the story behind it, I got the same kind of chills and the same kind of goosebumps," said Dr. Duke.
The mosaic decorated one of the world's oldest known Christian prayer halls, located in Megiddo, a city in Canaan. One inscription in the mosaic describes key women in early Christianity, while another marks history and the divinity of Christ:
"This phrase, 'God Jesus Christ' is, in the fifth line of the inscription, and it is actually in a shortened form," said Dr. Duke. "So, the letters that have the lines over them (are) actually a respectful way to write those words."
