According to Fox News, a recent discovery in the Egyptian desert was made, unearthing two churches more than 1,500 years old along with a mural showcasing Jesus' act of healing someone sick.

Fox noted that the location of the churches is in Kharga Oasis, which is located about 350 miles southwest from Cairo. Archaeologists further uncovered additional residential dwellings in the area that were made from mudbrick.

It is believed that these two churches go back to the early stages of the Coptic era of Christianity from around the 4 AD. Fox reported that the first church was a basilica composed of mudbrick with a hall and two aisles still standing, while the second, smaller church was rectangular and had seven remaining columns intact. Some of the Coptic writings were found on the walls of the church, along with the remainders of extra service buildings.

As Fox noted, officials on this archaeological investigation with the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities are saying that this region "witnessed the transition from paganism to Christianity." They also said that it "...sheds light on a significant era in the history of Kharga Oasis, namely the beginnings of the Coptic period in Egypt..."

This remarkable discovery serves as a vivid reminder of how devotion to Christ altered the world forever by His death and resurrection. As archaeologists continue to uncover these sacred sites, we are offered a rare window into the spiritual life of early Believers—inviting reflection, awe and a renewed appreciation for the foundations of faith that continue to inspire countless generations today.
