For the first time finds from the Second Temple Period were revealed at Jerusalem Gethsemane
One of the first archaeological evidences of its kind of Second
Temple-period activity at Gethsemane was unearthed near the modern church during archaeological excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority in collaboration with scholars from the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum.
A 2000-year-old ritual bath discovered at the site dates from the time of Jesus’s presence in Jerusalem, following Christian belief.
Impressive remains of a Byzantine church were also uncovered in the Kidron Valley at the foot of the church. The exciting archaeological discoveries were presented today (Monday), just before Christmas, at a press conference attended by the Custos of the Holy Land, Fr Francesco Patton, Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologists, and scholars from the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum.
Custos Fr Francesco Patton, who is Head of the Custody of the Holy Land, said:
“Gethsemane is one of the most important sanctuaries in the Holy Land, because in this place the tradition remembers the confident prayer of Jesus and his betrayal and because every year millions of pilgrims visit this place and pray in this place. Even the latest excavations conducted on this site have confirmed the antiquity of the Christian memory and tradition linked to the place, and this is very important for us and for the spiritual meaning connected with the archeological findings.
