Archaeologists excavating the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem have discovered evidence of an ancient garden consistent with biblical scripture. The discovery includes ancient olive trees and grapevines dating back roughly 2,000 years. The excavation is the first major restoration project at the church in nearly two centuries and is still in progress, with many surprises expected. The findings provide insight into the development and sacralization of the city in a Christian context.
