Catacomb Menorah 5

photo

One of a number of Menorahs that are found in the "St. Paul Catacombs." Obviously indicating a Jewish presence in the area.

Near the Saint Paul Collegiate Church are the remains of additional catacombs that were used for burials from the third to the eighth-century A.D. They have at least 30 burial chambers of different types. In general they are called St. Paul's Catacombs—although they have nothing to do with the Apostle Paul.
