History of THE CHRISTIANS In the first half of the 3rd century the Christians decorate the walls of their tomb chambers with New Testament scenes and with depictions of the Eucharist, the ritual communal meal at the centre of the faith.

The pottery spanned from the 1st-5th century, but the majority of the sherds were tiny fragments of 1st/2nd century ESA ware, with only a few later sherds mixed in. www.macalester.edu /classics/omrit/squares/m23.html   (1643 words)
