St. George's Orthodox Church - located in the city of Madaba, built in the 5th century AD. The church is best known for a mosaic mosaic here: the world's oldest map of the Middle East. This is a very precious original picture that we can take at will. The walls in this church are also mosaic style, very distinctive.

    Many artifacts in the Middle East were destroyed in the war, and this beautiful mosaic map was preserved by the earthquake, although only a quarter of the area, but did not affect the identification. The map clearly shows the names of the cities in the Bible at the time. The mosaic of the year is very different from the current. The mosaic of the past used natural stones, even the color of the stone is the original stone. This mosaic process of cutting natural stones into small pieces and then splicing together is a very complicated and fine process. There is also a small exhibition room on the side of the church, which displays the stories of the mosaic maps unearthed at the time. If you encounter large groups, there are local staff to explain for free.

    This is a 19th-century Greek Orthodox church, where Christians built it by accident to find mosaic maps on the ground, although not properly protected at the time, but still well preserved to this day. Although only a small part of the mosaic map has been preserved, the complexity of the original mosaic map can be inferred from the pattern, which depicts the biblical sites of the Middle East, and a large number of Greek slogans, which surprised tourists.

    St. George's Orthodox Church in Madaba, Jordan There is a map of the Middle East holy places with 230 mosaics. This church is not an attraction, so no one walks in and feels very quiet and solemn!

St. John's Church is built on the site and there is a tall bell tower overlooking the city.

    When you come to Madaba, the city of Mosaics, you must naturally come to the St. George Orthodox Church, the earliest existing map of the Middle East. The exterior of the church is beautiful and the atmosphere is beautiful. The interior is an eye-opener with the incomplete map of the Middle East inlaid with mosaics. The map vividly shows the prosperous religious activities of the Jordan River basin and the Dead Sea, making people stop and linger.

    Went to see the world's oldest mosaic map, right on the church floor, above Jerusalem is the center of the world, and we bought a mosaic painting in the shop next to it. As a result, the driver took us to the crafts shop on the way back, and took people to the shopping point. I don't know if I learned it with the Chinese. So, sure enough, we bought a bigger mosaic painting! I can only say that it is coming, buy it and buy it!
