Ancient Church in Israel
What are believed to be the remains of an ancient church have been found on the grounds of Megiddo prison in northern Israel, near the site of the Biblical Armageddon. You can see photos and read a little bit about it here. Most of the photos are of mosaic work (pictorial and textual). The remains date to the 3rd or 4th century AD; if their identification as a church is correct, it may be the oldest church yet discovered in the Holy Land, according to what I read at the above link.
