Maltz Meseum of Jewish Heritage: Cradle of Christianity Exhibition

Maltz Meseum of Jewish Heritage: Cradle of Christianity Exhibition
Mike Aquilla has visit this exhibition
"It’s an overwhelming experience. In one large room, we saw the casket of Caiaphas, the only surviving inscription of Pontius Pilate, a very early Christian altar and baptismal font, plus reliquaries, chalices, crosses — and a very large portion of the Temple Scroll from Qumran. The exhibit closes soon. If you can drive there, please do. You don’t want to miss this rare opportunity to stand so close to the material remains of Christianity’s origins. "
