The Christian tradition even has this city of Sepphoris as the birth place of Mary, mother of Jesus dimwatt. The Jewish historian Josephus in the Jewish Virtual library has him calling this settlement "the ornament of all Galilee" yet no mention in the NT? ( how interesting & right next to Nazereth) Open a book, research different sources, you might learn real history you squirmy cockroach. This was also one of those cities the Jews could escape to & find refuge in after the 73 rebellion. Archaeology in Israel: Zippori / Sepphoris jewishvirtuallibrary.org Zippori is mentioned in many Jewish sources of the first centuries of the common era. Founded in the Hellenistic era, it was named the administrative capital of Galilee by Gabinius, the Roman governor, in the mid-first century BCE. The city did not join the revolt against Rome in 66 CE; it opened its gates to the legions of the Roman Emperor Vespasian and was thus saved. On coins minted in Zippori at that time, the city is named Eirenopolis, "city of peace." Later, its name was changed to Diocaesarea in honor of Zeus and the emperor.

Squirm little worm! Open a book once in a while dummie The Synagogue in Sepphoris (has the sun god Helios on the ceiling) jewishvirtuallibrary.org Remains of a 6th century synagogue were exposed in the lower city. The synagogue was elongated in shape (16 m. x 6.5 m.) with a line of columns dividing it into a main hall and a narrow aisle. The mosaic in the main hall, partly damaged, has a zodiac in the center with the sun god Helios in his chariot, surrounded by human figures, the signs of the zodiac and the names of the months. The carpet is divided into strips, some depicting scenes from the Bible (Abraham and the angels, the binding of Isaac), others Temple rituals (a sacrifice, offering of first fruits and the table with the shewbread.)
