Have archaeologists found the house were Jesus grew up?


Recommended Posts

Archaeological investigations have revealed that a house in the northern Israeli town of Nazareth could have been the home of Jesus Christ. British archaeologist Ken Dark, who led the latest dig, described the work in the most recent edition of the journal Biblical Archaeological Review. His team, from Reading University, were not looking for signs of Jesus living in Nazareth. Dark says they were looking at the impact of pilgrimage on the region and especially in and around Nazareth. The first Century house’s remains lie beneath a convent belonging to the Sisters of Nazareth, which is built on top of a church constructed by the Byzantines, inheritors of the East Roman Empire, who occupied the region until the seventh Century.
