Photo: University of Haifa \/ Dr. Michael Eisenberg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Christian stronghold on the Sea of Galilee<\/h2>\n<p>In a study published in Zeitschrift f\u00fcr Papyrologie und Epigraphik, Eisenberg, along with colleagues Dr. Arleta Kowalewska and Prof. Gregor Staab from the University of Cologne, argued that the inscribed medallion represents the earliest excavated evidence of a nursing home. They based their claim on the inscription\u2019s reference to a specific age group and the location within a residential quarter of the city.<\/p>\n<p>Institutions designated for the elderly are mentioned in texts from the 5th and 6th centuries, but this marks the first physical evidence of such a practice, the researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>The discovery was made near the intersection of two main streets in Hippos\u2019 residential district. The Christian city served as an episcopal centre, where archaeologists have uncovered seven churches, a temple, a basilica, a theatre, and at least two bathhouses.<\/p>\n<h2>A community institution<\/h2>\n<p>The mosaic was fully unearthed during the 2023\u20132024 excavation seasons. The team analysed the inscription and surrounding iconography, concluding that it was prominently displayed at the institution\u2019s entrance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a communal and spiritual institution integrated into the fabric of city life and reflecting the social values of the period. The inscription addresses a specific public directly, which is a rare glimpse into the daily lives of older people in antiquity,\u201d the researchers wrote.<\/p>\n<p>They added that the medallion \u201cmay provide one of the earliest material testimonies in the Holy Land, showing how the Christian community began assuming responsibilities for care that had previously been handled by family networks alone. This development likely reflects new Christian ways of life outside traditional family structures, such as monasticism.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Romanian Orthodox Patriarchate and elderly care<\/h2>\n<p>In 2023, the Romanian Patriarchate declared the year as the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/en\/tag\/solemn-year-2023\/\">Solemn Year of Pastoral Care for the Elderly<\/a>.\u201d Saints Simeon and Anna are regarded as the <a href=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/icoana-anului-omagial-2023-sfintii-simeon-si-ana-ocrotitorii-varstnicilor\/\">protectors of the elderly<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On that occasion, Patriarch Daniel explained that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/en\/patriarch-of-romania-revering-and-helping-the-elderly-are-expressions-of-spiritual-and-social-maturity-in-community-life\/\">revering and helping the elderly are expressions of spiritual and social maturity in community life.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, October 1 was established as both the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/en\/patriarch-daniel-sends-message-of-gratitude-and-appreciation-on-international-day-for-older-persons\/\">International Day of Older Persons\u201d and the \u201cDay of Older Persons in the Romanian Patriarchate<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photo: University of Haifa \/ Dr. Michael Eisenberg<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BasilicaNews\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-495171\" src=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-889x148.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"889\" height=\"148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-889x148.gif 889w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-1024x171.gif 1024w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-1536x256.gif 1536w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-2048x341.gif 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 440px, (max-width: 768px) 354px, 890px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers from the University of Haifa have discovered what they say is the world\u2019s oldest nursing home, in the Byzantine (Roman) city of Hippos, the Times of Israel reported.
