Magdala is believed to have been Mary Magdalene’s hometown
which is on the shores of the Sea of Galilee; hence, Mary of Magdala. Based on
my personal research, Mary Magdalene was most likely a very important leader of
the early Church. However, this post is about Biblical archeology. Being a
Biblical archeology buff, I receive updates every week from the Biblical Archeology
Society on what is happening in the field. Below is an excerpt from an article
on one of the latest discoveries.
"The most recent excavations
at Magdala, by the Magdala Archaeological Project under the direction of
Marcela Zapata-Meza of the Anahuac University of Mexico, revealed four ritual
baths, or mikva’ot. These baths and the synagogue further strengthen the image
of a Jewish city bursting with religious life (http://www.biblicalarchaeology.org)."
I find all this stuff fascinating. If you also find this
stuff fascinating, you can read the entire article at the following link, and
while you are there you can get informed on all other things offered at the
their site, such as free E-books. Blessings and enjoy reading!
