Mosaic Megiddo Inscription Replica
Own a remarkable piece of early Christian history with this Mosaic Megiddo Inscription Replica, inspired by the ancient mosaic discovered in Megiddo, Israel. The Megiddo Mosaic inscription is one of the earliest known Christian inscriptions, dating to around the third century CE. It was discovered in a building at the site of ancient Megiddo in Israel, believed to have served as a Christian prayer hall before Christianity became a legalized religion in the Roman Empire.
The Greek text in the mosaic reads: “The god-loving Akeptous has offered the table to God Jesus Christ as a memorial.”
This is significant because:
- Direct reference to Jesus as God: It explicitly calls Jesus “God,” showing that early Christians in this period already viewed Him as divine.
- Evidence of organized worship: The mention of a “table” likely refers to an altar or communion table, indicating structured Christian ritual.
- Historical context: This predates Constantine’s legalization of Christianity, proving that Christian communities existed and practiced their faith even under Roman restrictions.
The plaque was handmade in Israel by artisans. The replica plaque can either be set on a table top or shelf or it can hang from the wall with its wire hook on the back.Made to look like the inscription, it is made of ceramic and hand painted with details. Ideal for collectors, scholars, and anyone passionate about biblical archaeology and history.
