The Iconography of the Magdala Stone: Tracing Connections between Judea and Galilee in the First Century
Join Museum of the Bible, via Zoom, for the first of our speaker series focusing on topics related to Dead Sea Scrolls: The Exhibition. In two lectures, Dr. Marcela Zapata-Meza will first explore the symbolic and religious significance of the Magdala Stone through its iconography, which includes the earliest-known depiction of the temple menorah, and will then examine the stone’s relevance to the broader Jewish world, including potential links between Galilee and Judea, particularly Qumran. Magdala is famous as the home of Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus’s most prominent followers.
