| Summary: | Remains of a Byzantine church beside the Siloam Pool in Jerusalem were first discovered by Frederick Bliss and Archibald Dickie in the 1890’s. Recent excavations along the Stepped Street in the Lower City within the City of David in Jerusalem have revealed much more information about the architecture and decoration of this church, originally built to commemorate Jesus’ healing of the blind man, a story found in John 9:1-12. Small opus sectile tiles recovered during recent excavations reveal that there was a decorative opus sectile wall panel in the atrium of the church that bears a thematic connection to this story in the Gospel of John. |
