Journey back in time 1,800 years ago to the land of Israel during the Roman Empire. Discover the story of faith that united a Roman centurion, an artist, and five women, inspiring them to create a spectacular mosaic floor and provide a table for worship dedicated to “God Jesus Christ.” This beautifully preserved mosaic, now called the Megiddo Mosaic, reveals a deeper understanding of early Christian worship and the people who gathered there.

Conserved by the Israel Antiquities Authority earlier this year, the Megiddo Mosaic will be on display for the first time ever in Washington, DC. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see the foundations of the early church from a time before Christianity was legally recognized by the Roman Empire, exclusively at Museum of the Bible.
