Still at St. Stephens Church AD785 in Jordan

Yes hard to believe that this church is still with us and is known and has left a multitude of mosaic flooring to stun the visitor. Of course I have had a bit of trouble getting the year right but then a look at some of the mosaics will make up for that. The mosaics displayed the many activities that the villagers participated in, such as fishing, vegetable growing etc..Over the years different God-loving religions took control and their habit was to simply destroy the faces portrayed if they didn't suit the belief. These images I didn't include seeing I am such a perfectionist! Ha!Not really! But if you enlarge the photos you will see how minute the individual mosaic tiles were.


And so on to the various bath houses which offered
accommodation for the weary traveller not to mention opportunities to relax and spend time in a chapel. Of course some have been restored to some degree yet in general the mind boggled to see the many rooms and chapels presented. Not to mention the descriptive wall sketches.

Important information shows above, if the photo is enlarged, how one of the domes depicts the first ever understanding of Astrology and a depiction of the star signs ie; Leo, Sagittarius, Libra etc.
