<br/><br/> "The unprecedented finds revealed in the Kathisma excavations constitute one of the most important, and unexpected, discoveries of Early Christian architecture in the Holy Land in recent decades. The site has attracted keen interest not only from the scholarly community, but also from the general public worldwide, and in particular from the general public worldwide, and in particular from religious Christians."
