  • Researchers found ancient church at site called El-Araj, in Beit Habek near northern shore of Sea of Galilee
  • At the site, they discovered mosaic floors, glided mosaic tiles, and fragments of marble chancel screen
  • The team said this season’s dig El-Araj confirmed it as the site of Bethsaida, a fishing village from biblical text
  • Bethsaida is the site where Peter and his brother Andrew were born according to the Gospel of John

🙏 Praying they find an inscription to indicate in the name of whom the church was built. 🙏
 
I don’t know if two poor fishermen in a small village could establish what is described as “a sprawling complex”.
 
I’d really like it if in their continuing excavation they find inscriptions relating to the apostles.
 
These archaelogical discoveries are so exciting.
I always wonder about what yet is waiting to be
discovered.
