In Israel, found the home of the youth of Jesus Christ
British archaeologists claim that they managed to find a home in the Israeli Nazareth (Nazareth), where Jesus Christ probably grew up.
Excavations lasted almost nine years. Experts published photographs of the remains of stone walls carved inside a limestone hill. Archaeologists suggest that fragments of the newly discovered hut belong to the first century of our era.
In his article “Has the House of Christ in Nazareth Been Found?” British researcher Ken Dark writes that, according to the Byzantines and Crusaders, Christ grew up exactly where the excavations took place. True, then a temple was erected on the site of the abandoned house, and a cemetery was laid out around it. According to Dark, the work at Nazareth is not yet finished.
The article states that the house in question is located under the monastery of the sisters of Nazareth - it was found by the nuns back in the 1880s. In 1936, Jesuit monk Henri Saint visited the excavations, after which he made and published drawings, but his publication did not receive wide distribution.
As a result, experts took up this house only in 2006 year. The nuns gave them full access, both to the place itself and to all records made about it.
The house, as emphasized by Ken Dark, is in fairly good condition - the door and even the windows are preserved. Limestone vessels, kitchen pots, spindles and other household items found during the excavations indicate that the family most likely lived in the house.
