Archaeological artifacts in this multi-section exhibit chronicle the significant milestones in Jesus’ life, the structure and liturgy of the early church, life in the monasteries and pilgrimages to the Holy Land. These treasured Christian symbols and imagery are extremely relevant even today, unlocking rich insight into religious observance and the Word of God.
The museum also features other captivating displays of Christian interest, such as the earliest archaeological evidence of the dynasty of King David, stone inscriptions from the Second Temple and silver amulets engraved with the Priestly Benediction, the oldest extant biblical text (Num. 6:24–26).
