The Megiddo Mosaic: Foundations of Faith
September 15, 2024 – July 6, 2025
Included with Admission
In 2005, archaeologists working at Megiddo uncovered a beautifully preserved mosaic floor bearing three inscriptions that would change our understanding of the early church forever.
The inscriptions reveal that the floor and the table that once stood at its center were funded by local Christians, including a Roman centurion and a woman described as “the God-lover,” for worship of “God Jesus Christ.” These inscriptions are the first that we know of to identify Jesus as God, making this the oldest-known site dedicated specifically for Christian worship.
Museum of the Bible, in partnership with the Israel Antiquities Authority, is excited to premiere this groundbreaking mosaic in this new interactive exhibit now open.
