Cradle of Christianity: Maltz Museum
On our recent trip to Ohio, we visited a brand new Jewish museum called the Maltz Museum. They had a special exhibit, which included some fascinating artifacts, titled "The Cradle of Christianity." This is the first time the Jerusalem Museum has lent these objects to a museum in the United States, I believe. Here is some of what we saw.
Some ossuaries, the one on the left is believed to be the ossuary of Caiaphas.
A sign from a temple post.
A Dead Sea Scroll fragment.
The miracle of water turning into wine, which Jesus performed at the Wedding at Cana, would have taken place in jars like this.
