Byzantine Lamp Discovered in Jerusalem

The Byzantine period (4th-7th centuries AD) was a period of flourishing and wealth in the Holy Land. During this time Christianity became the dominant religion of the Roman Empire, and many churches were established throughout the country, preserving the memory of Christ. In fact, during this period the Land of Israel became the “Holy Land”, the center of the Christian faith, at the center of which is the Holy City – Jerusalem.

From Jerusalem, a city that threads the needle between ancient lore and bustling modern life, a remarkable discovery has shed new light on the Byzantine period. Archaeologists, sifting through layers of history, have unearthed a Byzantine lamp, an artifact that offers a luminous peek into the past. This discovery illuminates not just the corridors where it once burned but also the minds of those seeking connections with the ancient world.
