The Church of Saints Lot and Procopius in the village of Khirbet Al-Mukhayyat 500—600AD

Inside this plain, stone building, we found a treasure. The man in the photos told this story: when he was young, his family lived in tents on this spot. They discovered the mosaic floor when his mother was cleaning up a cooking spill. Makes a good story, but the dates don’t quite match history. Originally discovered in 1913, the protective building was erected in 1936 by the same order of Franciscan monks that preserved Mount Nebo.
