Is this the tomb of midwife who delivered Jesus? Ancient inscriptions and prayer lamps found inside a 2,000-year-old burial site in Jerusalem 'prove this is the cave of holy Salome'
- The cave was first uncovered in 1982 by robbers who stole the remains
- Recent excavations revealed the carving: 'Salome, who was Mary's midwife'
- Salome is mentioned in the Gospel of James, but is deemed non-anonical and not acknowledged by western churches
A 2,000-year-old burial cave found in a forest in Jerusalem is believed to be the tomb of the midwife who helped with the birth of Jesus - following excavations that uncovered inscriptions citing 'Salome, who was Mary's midwife.'
The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced - just days before the Christian world celebrates the birth of Christ - that the carvings in ancient Greek and Arabic are enough to prove 'this is the cave of holy Salome.'
Teams have also discovered ruins of shops nearby, dating from between the eighth and ninth centuries, that sold oil lamps used in prayer.
