A team of researchers from Sapienza University of Rome discovered remains of a plant dated to the time of Jesus' death in the spring of 33 CE, providing evidence that might confirm the tradition that Jesus was crucified and buried at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The excavation at the church also uncovered marble tombs connected to Joseph of Arimathea, the biblical figure believed to have provided the burial plot for Jesus. These findings add to the ongoing debate over the location of Jesus' crucifixion and burial.
