Third Century Christian Mosaic to Be Released from Prison

[Weatherman2020]

An ancient third-century mosaic until now hidden behind bars, so to speak, on the grounds of the Megiddo Prison in northern Israel — will soon be made available for viewing by the public.

Believed to be the earliest mosaic dedicated to Jesus, the mosaic was discovered between 2004 and 2008 in a salvage dig for prison expansion.

They’re moving the prison.

Very nice.

Looks like a poor example of a prison from that vantage point so they might as well build a new one.
