Archaeology of Early Christianity

Material evidence of Jesus of Nazareth, Paul of Tarsus, Saints Peter and Paul and other apostles still exists. Explore the Church of the Sepulcher, the site of Golgotha, 'the empty tomb' and the ossuaries that allegedly hold the bones of Jesus’s relatives. Follow St. Paul on his missionary journeys through the Mediterranean and the places of his beheading and burial. Archeologist William Tabbernee will guide you through the early Christian sites: the Roman catacombs, frescoes that decorated the tombs of popes, art and the remains of early churches where Councils were held, determining the beliefs and practices of Christianity.
