A significant archaeological find, the Megiddo Mosaic, was discovered beneath a prison in Israel. Dating back 1,800 years, it features the earliest known inscription declaring Jesus as God, highlighting early Christian beliefs and practices. The mosaic also reveals a prayer hall built around 230 AD, showcasing early Christian symbols and artwork. It includes names of women, emphasizing their roles in the early church, which is rare for that time. After being preserved for nearly two decades, the mosaic is now on display at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. It will return to Israel in July 2025, where it will be permanently exhibited at its original site.
