Mystery Martyr’s Church Unearthed in the Holy Land

(Worthy News) – A Byzantine-era church built in honor of an unnamed martyr has been unearthed near Jerusalem after a three-year excavation, Israeli researchers said on Wednesday.

The dig uncovered floors decorated with vast mosaics depicting birds, fruit and plants, colorful frescoes, and a curious Greek inscription that has baffled the researchers.

“We found one inscription in the courtyard of the church which dedicates the site in the memory of a ‘glorious martyr,’” said Benyamin Storchan, who directed the excavation. “The martyr is unnamed and it’s still a mystery.” [ Source Algemeiner (Read More…) ]
