Church Floor
Researchers discovered more exquisite mosaics preserved on the church floor elsewhere, including one that appears to depict a pomegranate. This fruit, which was once a sign of fertility, was reportedly used by Christians to symbolize the resurrection and the concept of everlasting life.

Etrogs
Archaeologists discovered depictions of etrogs – a form of citrus fruit used in Jewish customs – in another church section. The team’s meticulous work also revealed mosaic parts dedicated to geometric designs and those depicting different animals. A variety of exotic birds are also depicted on the unearthed mosaics, but the species portrayed are unknown.
