Evidence of the early church of Jesus Christ has been found in an Israeli prison. This may be a third century church, the earliest known Christian church structure. Most Christians in this area were worshipping in homes and hiding places to avoid persecution. Here's a prisoner, cleaning the ancient mosaics. I don't know how I missed this story, but I did. There's a small story within the story about a Roman soldier who gave money to the church.

If I get a few moments, I'll try to dicipher the Greek, though I think they give a translation in the story. Click on the link below.
