The Napolitano Christmas Manger

“6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them” (Luke 2) This magnificent event is presented at the Custodia Terræ Sanctæ at the Christian Quarter near the New gate at the Old City of Jerusalem. The model shows the landscape of the Naples surroundings from the eighteenth century. Around a large rock dozens of characters are arranged. At the heart of the mountain, in the privacy of a cave, the Son of God is just born. The handcrafted labor was conducted in 2014 by the Neapolitan family business Scarabattola to the Holy Land Custody.

Nov 19, 2017 · original
A 1,100-year-old refuse pit found in Israel Antiquities Authority excavations in the Jerusalem Walls National Park reveals dietary habits in the Early Islamic period When did eggplants first arrive in Israel? A 1,100-year-old refuse pit, discovered in archaeological excavations at the stepped street in the City of David in the Jerusalem Walls National Park, may provide an answer. Eggplant seeds were identified in the pit, which dates from the Early Islamic period (also called the Abbasid period – 750–940 CE). These seeds, the earliest evidence of eggplants known in this country, were found alongside thousands of grape seeds, olive and Christ’s thorn jujube pits, black mulberries, lentils, figs and more. The refuse pit was uncovered in an Israel Antiquities Authority excavation on the stepped street in the City of David, in collaboration with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and fund

An ancient Roman theater-like structure was exposed for the first time. The dramatic discoveries will be presented to the public for the first time at the conference titled “New Studies in the Archaeology of Jerusalem and its Environs,” to be held this week in Jerusalem, marking 50 years of archaeological research since the reunification of the city. Eight stone courses of the Western Wall that had been buried under an 8-meter layer of earth were recently uncovered in excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority in the Western Wall Tunnels in Jerusalem. These stone courses, completely preserved, are built of massive stones and are outstanding in the quality of their construction. Furthermore, after the removal of this layer of soil, the archaeologists were surprised to discover that it covered the remnants of an extraordinary theater-like structure from the Roman period conf

Intriguing Evidence of Burial Customs in the Canaanite Period Uncovered near the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo Remains of decapitated toads found in a jar in a 4,000-year-old tomb The research will be presented to the public for the first time at the upcoming conference “New Studies in the Archaeology of Jerusalem and its Region.” Why were decapitated toads placed in a jar in a 4,000-year-old tomb in Jerusalem? Fascinating findings from an Israel Antiquities Authority excavation near the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo shed light on burial customs in the Canaanite period (the Middle Bronze Age). The archaeological excavation, which took place in 2014 with funding from the Housing Ministry (the Arim Urban Development Company) prior to the expansion of the Manaḥat neighborhood, yielded the remains of at least nine toads, and evidence of the cultivation of date palms and myrtle in the area.

BUREAUCRACY AND CLERKS FROM THE PAST: A collection of seals (bullae) from the late First Temple period, discovered in the City of David excavations, shed light on the bureaucracy and officials of ancient Jerusalem. Who was Achiav ben Menachem? A collection of dozens of sealings, mentioning the names of officials dated to the days of the Judean kingdom prior to the Babylonian destruction, was unearthed during excavations by the Israel Antiquities Authority in the City of David National Park in the area of the walls of Jerusalem, funded by the ELAD (El Ir David) organization. The sealings (bullae- from which the Hebrew word for stamp, “bul”, is derived) are small pieces of clay which in ancient times served as seals for letters. A letter which arrived with its seal broken was a sign that the letter had been opened before reaching its destination. Although letters did not survive the horrib
Ancient inscription unearthed near the Damascus Gate
Aug 23, 2017 · original
A 1,500 year old mosaic floor, with a Greek inscription, was discovered this summer following groundwork for Partner communications cable infrastructures near the Damascus Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem. The intact discovery surprised and excited the Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologists. David Gellman, the director of the excavation on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority said, “The fact that the inscription survived is an archaeological miracle. The excavation in a relatively small area, exposed ancient remains that were severely damaged by infrastructure groundwork over the last few decades. We were about to close the excavation, when all of a sudden, a corner of the mosaic inscription peeked out between the pipes and cables. Amazingly, it had not been damaged. Every archaeologist dreams of finding an inscription in their excavations, especially one so well preserved an
Evidence of the Babylonian Destruction Found in Jerusalem
Jul 26, 2017 · original
Evidence of the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of the Babylonians has recently been unearthed in the City of David in excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority at the Jerusalem Walls National Park, funded by the City of David Foundation (Elad). In the excavations – concentrated on the eastern slope of the City of David, structures dating to more than 2,600 years ago have been unearthed after having been covered over by collapsed layers of stone. Nestled within the collapse, many findings have surfaced: charred wood, grape seeds, pottery, fish scales and bones, and unique, rare artifacts. These findings depict the affluence and character of Jerusalem, capital of the Judean Kingdom, and are mesmerizing proof of the city’s demise at the hands of the Babylonians. Among the excavation’s salient findings were dozens of storage jars which served to store both grain and li
