JERUSALEM – Israeli archaeologists said Saturday they have discovered what may be the oldest Christian church in the Holy Land on the grounds of a prison near the biblical site of Armageddon.
The Israeli Antiquities Authority said the ruins are believed to date back to the third or fourth centuries and include references to Jesus and images of fish, an ancient Christian symbol.
“This is a very ancient structure, maybe the oldest in our area,” said Yotam Tepper, the head archaeologist on the dig.
